Overview

This 7,140 square foot standalone building previously operated as a private preparatory school and is designed with a flexible, ready-to-use layout. The property includes kid-oriented infrastructure that can support childcare and educational programming, while the existing configuration also lends itself to office or community uses. The building sits on a 0.9-acre lot, offering room for day-to-day operations and on-site needs.

Located at 525 W 17th Street in Bloomington, Indiana, the property is positioned in a convenient Bloomington area. Its standalone nature supports independent access and use, while the prior education function means many of the internal improvements are already aligned with learning and supervision environments.

For prospective buyers, this asset fits well for organizations seeking a functional, conversion-friendly facility. Daycare operators, charter or nonprofit education groups, and entities looking to repurpose a school building into office or community space can evaluate the existing layout and school-focused infrastructure to support their program from day one.
