317 Waterford Estates Drive, Bloomington, IL 61704

Quality That Speaks for Itself. This is not your typical new construction. From the moment you arrive, it's clear: every inch of this Schmillen-built ranch home in East Bloomington's Waterford Estates was carefully considered, thoughtfully designed, and executed with a level of craftsmanship that sets it apart. Positioned on a corner lot with a wide front porch perfect for morning coffee, this home greets you with warmth and light. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space is flooded with natural sunlight thanks to an abundance of windows. The soaring cathedral ceilings and seamless LVP flooring create a crisp, cohesive look that feels both modern and welcoming. The kitchen is a true standout-anchored by a massive quartz-topped island and flanked by custom cabinetry that goes far beyond the standard. A full pantry cabinet, additional wall of built-ins ideal for a coffee bar or serving station, and sleek fixtures all combine to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. It's rare to find this level of finish and forethought in today's market-especially at this price point. With over 2,800 finished square feet, the layout is smart and spacious. The main level features two bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite that is a true retreat. Dual closets, an oversized tiled walk-in shower, dual vanities, and rich tile flooring define the en suite bath. You'll also find a full laundry room and a custom drop zone with built-in cubbies-designed for real life. One of the most unexpected and delightful design elements? The extra-wide staircase leading to the finished basement, where 9-foot ceilings continue the sense of volume and openness. Downstairs you'll find two more bedrooms, another full bath, and a generously sized second living space-ideal for movie nights, game days, or hosting guests. Even the garage deserves a mention: oversized and attached, with room for two vehicles and more. Outdoor living is just as appealing with a covered front porch and a covered back patio off the kitchen, perfect for evening relaxation or weekend barbecues. This home offers convenience and peace of mind in equal measure. In a world of cookie-cutter construction, this one stands out-for all the right reasons.
