Description

They say it's everything-and this home delivers on every level. Just two houses from the Monon Trail, you'll find restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment virtually at your doorstep. Set on a lot nearly twice the size of most in 46205, the property makes an immediate impression before you even step inside. Once you do, the home's generous space and quality finishes take center stage. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring stainless steel appliances, high-end quartz countertops that wrap seamlessly for maximum prep and hosting space, and a design perfect for everything from daily meals to dinner parties. Nearby, a beautifully updated full bathroom complements two main-level bedrooms-one with a walk-in and dual closets for all the storage you could want. To the left of the entry, the living room is both inviting and versatile, with a cozy fireplace, large picture windows, and plenty of room to gather. Upstairs, flexibility abounds. One bedroom boasts three closets (ideal for an extensive wardrobe), while another offers the perfect setting for a fourth bedroom, office, nursery, or even a custom dressing room. The upstairs bathroom impresses with a custom-tiled shower, dual sinks, and an unexpectedly spacious layout. The finished basement adds nearly 1,000 square feet of possibilities-whether you envision a home theater, game room, office, or all three combined. Out back, the breezeway connects the kitchen to an oversized two-car garage. The yard is expansive-fully fenced, shaded by mature trees, and double the size of most in the neighborhood. It's the backyard your pets (and guests) will love. Dream homes are rare. This one stands ready. Schedule your private showing today.

    "We love our neighborhood! Bikable from home to downtown in less time than battleing rush hour traffic! Great choice public elementary schools within 5 miles of home. Walkable to over 25 restaurants, 6 of which are microbreweries. A quick bike ride to historic theater and even more restaurant options. Fantastic for the cost of living here. Pot holes in Indy are BAD in winter time tho. But the paddle options (canoeing kayaking etc) nearby are fantastic! "

    "We can walk to 25 restaurants (Not chains) and two playgrounds. There’s a paved biking path across the street that connects easily to downtown. 1/3 of an acre in the city is a gem. There are many parks within a 20 minute drive, including state parks. Good local coffees and brews. Theater And paddling- even equestrian opportunities. Great schools too! "
