Home Details for 13 Norbloom Avenue

One of Bloomington's most prestigious private estates. Secluded behind a gated entrance on nearly four fully fenced acres in the heart of Bloomington, this custom-built architectural masterpiece offers nearly 10,000 square feet of unparalleled craftsmanship, artistry, and intentional design. Constructed with timber framing from Douglas Fir beams, a stainless steel roof, and cedar siding, this estate is a rare expression of enduring quality and refined taste. From the moment you arrive, the private drive reveals a sanctuary designed to enlighten the senses and inspire awe. The grand foyer welcomes you with a custom-built art installation, setting the tone for the extraordinary details found throughout. The breathtaking two-story living room showcases reclaimed chestnut beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas start, and expansive south-facing windows that bathe the home in natural light. The chef's kitchen is both stunning and functional. Heated stone floors, professional-grade newer Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a dramatic copper hood set against a natural-edged granite backsplash. A walnut breakfast bar seats seven, while the butler's pantry offers a wet bar, additional dishwasher, and abundant custom storage. Designed for flexibility and comfort, the main level includes a private en-suite bedroom ideal for a secondary primary suite, a thoughtfully designed mudroom with built-in cubbies, and dog wash station, and a spacious laundry room with custom cabinetry. Upstairs, the true primary retreat is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring exposed beams, custom built-ins, a California Closets designed wardrobe room, and a spa-inspired bath with slate tile walk-in shower, and soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, white oak flooring, alder trim, a second laundry, and a richly appointed executive office complete the upper level. The dramatic custom cherry staircase with walnut treads, built atop a steel frame, is both an architectural focal point and engineering marvel. The lower level is an entertainer's dream with 11-foot ceilings and radiant heated floors. Highlights include a 31x25 theater room with wet bar, and authentic Rumford wood-burning fireplace, temperature-controlled wine cellar, expansive fitness studio with private exterior entrance, and a sixth bedroom with custom walk-in closet, and newly installed Sauna. Above the attached three-car garage, a 39x16 bonus suite with its own HVAC offers ideal guest quarters, teen retreat, or private workspace. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a resort-inspired paradise. Professionally landscaped grounds feature irrigation, a Japanese Maple garden with water feature, sand volleyball court with firepit, picnic gazebo with powered speakers and built-in grill, and an inviting stone fireplace gathering space. A timber-frame gazebo with Sonos speakers surrounds a built-in stone hot tub with water features - the ultimate retreat for relaxation and entertaining. For collectors or hobbyists, the 1,700 square foot reclaimed 150-year-old barn rebuilt with galvanized steel roof, power, floor drain, potbelly stove, and insulated half bath offers endless possibilities. This is more than a home. It is a legacy estate. A private retreat. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the heart of Bloomington.
