Description
This updated one-bedroom, one-bath bungalow with original wood floors is located in the historic McDoel Gardens neighborhood. Its small size packs a lot of charm in nearly 800 square feet, conveniently located just two blocks from the B-line, near downtown amenities and Indiana University. From the charming front porch, the home opens to a classic floor plan with plenty of sunlight streaming through old-fashioned paned windows. The main level includes a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room with a built-in corner cabinet with paned glass, and a galley-style kitchen with a gas range. Also on the main level is the bedroom and full bath that features a pedestal sink and tub/shower. Downstairs is a partially finished flex space that could easily be transformed into an office, studio or exercise room, and a large unfinished space with a utility sink and newer washer and dryer. You'll enjoy the private, fenced-in courtyard space on the side of the home that's perfect for entertaining. Updates to the home include a 3-year-old roof, hot water heater and furnace.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had a school dance and Two boys name of like Luis and Jose went around and touched girls inappropriately and unzipping their dresses, 5 girls were crying, assistant principal did nothing about it, there was this great kid named like Issac who had enough and hit one of the dudes. But he got suspended for 3 days while those two had no punishment. I was dealing with boys being weird around me and they also got away with it. In addition Issac was kicked out the dance before the two?? Teachers don’t really have the best ways of teaching and the way that they teach confuses me. The lunches are pre served and you can only get one entree now, kids can’t get up for water unless table is called, which can endanger them if they don’t get the sources they need. You aren’t allowed to get extras, which left me hungry throughout the day if the food is too little on certain days. But yeah I wouldn’t recommend this school because you will have to worry constantly about if you will feel safe here or be in the right hands.Other Review6mo ago
