Description

Welcome to a true bird watcher's dream on the Southside. Tucked away on a premium .29-acre lot in Perry Township, this home offers a beautifully refreshed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathrooms, and a highly unique extra room. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the durable laminate flooring sweeping across the entire first floor. The space feels incredibly bright and modern, featuring fresh paint, updated fixtures, and a gorgeous custom board-and-batten accent wall. The main floor offers excellent practical conveniences, including a spacious master bedroom boasting a large walk-in closet, a customized laundry room with added cabinetry, and an attached garage with extra storage. Head upstairs to discover the home's most unique feature: the massive 22-foot-long finished attic space has been completely transformed through a custom, moving bookshelf door. It's the ultimate flexible space for a private home office, guest room, or playroom. Outside, the property sits at the perfect bend of the neighborhood pond, making it a natural gathering spot for local birds and ducks. Spend your afternoons fishing, hosting on the freshly stained deck, or relaxing by the fire pit under a shade tree. The yard is rounded out by a fenced-in side yard, an outdoor storage shed, and zero rear neighbors for total privacy. Located just minutes from the interstate with lightning-fast access to downtown Indy and local shopping, this Perry Township home truly has it all. Schedule your private tour today!
