About this House

The Rachel Wright House is a revivified 19th-century Greek Revival three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, located in the heart of the historic Prospect Hill neighborhood.

It also has a 21st-century heart. The Rachel Wright’s sleek renovated kitchen features Amish-made cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, looking out to the landscaped cottage garden. The contemporary Italian-tiled bathrooms with modernist fixtures provide a respite from the busy world. It’s a Green house, with an ultra-high-efficiency gas furnace and an environmentally friendly, on-demand tankless water heater. Designed by former IU landscape architect David Smith, the landscaped grounds features low-maintenance perennials, specimen trees and shrubs, and urban orchard. The folk art limestone fence was crafted by master mason Paul Daugherty.
