About this House
Welcome to 256 E Caven Street, a great opportunity to make homeownership a reality in the popular Bates-Hendricks area! This spacious home offers the perfect combination of important updates already completed with room to add your own personal style over time. The kitchen was updated approximately three years ago and features quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. High ceilings and LED can lighting give the home a bright, open feel, while central heating and cooling provide year-round comfort. The primary suite includes a generous closet, double vanity, and ceramic tile in the bathroom. With many of the larger updates and mechanical improvements already in place, buyers can focus on making the remaining finishing touches their own rather than taking on a complete renovation. Whether you're ready to stop renting, purchase your first home, or simply want a home you can personalize as you settle in, 256 E Caven offers an exciting opportunity to build equity while creating a space that feels like your own. Conveniently located near downtown Indianapolis and all that the surrounding Bates-Hendricks area has to offer. Home is being sold AS-IS.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a current 8th Grade student in this school, I love it. The style of schooling might not be for everyone but I really enjoy it. I've been here since kindergarten and loved everything from elementary to middle school. I'm mostly leaving this review as I've noticed some very negative reviews from years back when middle school was just developing. Now though the middle school is great with tons of amazing teachers. This school isn't for everybody but I would definitely recommend at least checking it out.Student Review3y ago - William McKinley School 39
