About This Property
Historic "Merrill House" is one of the most unique homes in Monroe
County, designed by one of America's renowned architects. In 1928,
thefounding dean of IU's School of Music commissioned NY-based
Beaux-Arts architect Ernest Flagg to design a limestone house; the
result was aremarkable 3000-sq-ft residence that comforts and
inspires those within its 16-inch thick walls. The expansive great
room, with red oak beamssupporting a cathedral ceiling filled with
dormer sky light windows, is at once a grand entertainment space
and an intimate family room. Flagg's use ofGreek proportions
creates superior acoustic properties. A beautiful bronze, copper,
and brass fireplace hood radiates a warm intimacy from one end
ofthe room; at the opposite end is a spacious dining area under a
hand-wrought candelabra. The updated kitchen (2006) tempts chefs
and guests alikewith its cheerful enameled, imported Lacanche range
(five gas burners, separate gas and electric ovens). Three bedrooms
and two baths are on themain level; one bedroom with an external
entrance is currently used as an office (with custom-made red-oak
dual desk and bookshelves), anotherfeatures an inviting fireplace.
The second story is a private master suite: a large bedroom with
vaulted ceiling and dormer skylights, fireplace, closets,cedar
storage closet, roof access door, and bath. Perhaps most wonderful
of all -- the house is built around an utterly private, central
court yard andgarden, visible only from most rooms in the house.
Gazing up at the recently restored (2013) Vermont slate and copper
roof and turret, this calm oasisoffers a distinctly Old World
ambiance. This one-of-a-kind home is located at the top of the
Vinegar Hill historic district neighborhood, on a .26 acre lot,with
a fenced back yard, within walking distance of Indiana University,
Bryan Park, downtown Bloomington, restaurants, schools. See
attached for moreon this rare opportunity.
