Classic charm meets modern living in this stunning historic home on one of Indianapolis's most beloved streets. From the moment you arrive, the iconic porch and mature tree canopy set the stage for something special inside. With 3,317 square feet of living space, this home offers extraordinary room to breathe. Five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and two bonus rooms give you the flexibility to work, create, and spread out in ways most homes simply can't match. The entire third floor has been thoughtfully converted into a private retreat, complete with a bedroom, bonus room, and its dual mini split system for year-round comfort. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a gas range, wine fridge & subway tile backsplash. The main bedroom suite offers a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with a dual vanity, the biggest shower this side of Ritter, plus a generous walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving. Step into the sunroom and you'll never want to leave. A tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, ceiling fan, and walls of glass overlooking the lush, private backyard make this the kind of space people dream about. Exit off a custom built mud room, with shelving that stays with the home. Out back, a winding brick path leads to a charming two-story powered garden shed, perfect for a workshop, studio, or serious storage. The oversized two or two door three-car garage adds even more utility to an already exceptional property, and the separate fenced yard delivers the privacy and green space that's hard to find this close to everything. Original character details throughout, including original interior doors with ornate hardware, hardwood floors, and period millwork, remind you that they simply don't build them like this anymore.
