Lustrous Lustron

Stay in one of Bloomington's rare historic Lustron homes—an iconic post-WWII steel home thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. Located between Indiana University and Bryan Park, this unique retreat features heated floors, a private fenced yard, designer interiors, and walkable access to campus, restaurants, and downtown Bloomington.

About This Space:
Stay in a rare historic Lustron home just steps from Indiana University, Bryan Park, and downtown Bloomington. This beautifully restored post-World War II enameled steel home combines mid-century charm with modern comforts, creating a one-of-a-kind stay in one of Bloomington's most desirable neighborhoods.

Whether you're visiting for an IU football game, Parents Weekend, graduation, orientation, a campus tour, or simply exploring Bloomington, you'll love the home's unbeatable location. Walk to Indiana University, enjoy the restaurants and shops along Kirkwood Avenue, relax in Bryan Park, or take a short drive to Lake Monroe.

After a day out, unwind in the sunroom, gather around the dining table with family and friends, or enjoy the privacy of the fully fenced backyard. Thoughtful updates, radiant heated floors, comfortable furnishings, and premium bedding make this a favorite home away from home.
