Transport yourself mentally out of the city to a property fit for the setting of a Hallmark movie in this American foursquare renovation nestled off the Monon Trail. The picturesque tree-filled half-acre is fondly known locally as the Chicken House, where the former owner sold farm fresh eggs from the backyard. A full-scale renovation with meticulous attention to detail has returned the home to a stately centerpiece in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen adorned with original beams and exposed historic brick looking out to a full wall of windows showcasing the scenic backyard. Ascend to the primary suite for utmost relaxation with floor-to-ceiling windows and the quaint feelling of a treehouse. Additional finished living space in the basement with side door access and plumbing could easily add a kitchenette and function as a mother-in-law suite or ADU. Come home to roost at the Chicken House!
