210 W Wood St., Bloomington, IL 61701

Calling all history buffs and old house lovers!! Prominent architect, Paul O. Moratz, built this amazing Queen Ann style house in 1903 for his personal family's residence. From the ornate terra cotta embellishments on the exterior to the exquisite cast plaster ceiling ornamentation inside, the architectural detail throughout this house is remarkable and stunning as shown in the photos. The beautiful oak hardwood floors are part of Moratz's legacy as he received a patent in 1934 for his signature narrow floor slats and manufactured them in his own local flooring production plant! This spacious home features a total of 5 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The third floor has a charming one-bedroom apartment which could be a master suite, teen haven or potential rental income. The finished area in the basement is a natural man cave complete with wet bar plus a large tool/workroom. (The basement has impressively always been dry due to the house's very high elevation) The roof, soffit and gutters were new in 2010. One-car detached garage. Enjoy relaxing on the expansive front porch or grilling out on the back patio. The yard is fenced and has mature trees, lilac bushes, raised garden beds and more. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history! Paul Moratz had a great influence in our community as well as others.
