Your Urban Retreat Awaits! This charming home offers a serene, lakehouse-inspired atmosphere while being in the heart of everything you love-minutes from IHM, CFI 84, the Canal Towpath, Jazz Kitchen, Ambrosia, Broad Ripple, and more! A sprawling front yard, framed by mature evergreen trees, welcomes you with great curb appeal and leads to a spacious front deck. The large backyard offers endless possibilities-ideal for gardening, playing, relaxing, or even expanding if you desire. Sunlight pours through all-new windows, offering stunning views of nature and filling the home with fresh breezes. Whether you're gathering with friends on the front deck, enjoying the private screened porch, lounging on the cozy brick dining patio, or unwinding by the wood-burning fireplace indoors, this home provides perfect spaces for both relaxation and entertaining. The updated kitchen, with its expansive island, is perfect for meal prep and casual dining, while the built-in refrigerated beverage drawers in the dining room add a unique touch. The convenience of 2 sets of washers and dryers, 2 dishwashers, and 2 Refrigerators make entertaining a snap. Thoughtful details, like the retracting screen door leading from the office nook to the front porch, offer subtle luxury throughout. The primary bedroom on the main floor features a walk-in closet and a beautifully remodeled bathroom. Upstairs, the bedrooms exude character, with charming nooks and rooflines, and are serviced by a classic, updated full bath. This home is move-in ready as it is, but with the lot size and layout, there's plenty of potential for expansion should you dream of creating your perfect estate. A truly special home, brimming with charm, sunlight, and endless possibilities.
