Brimming with potential, this historic home sits on a .3 acre parcel in the desirable Longfellow neighborhood, one block east of IC’s beloved Deluxe Bakery on Summit St. A charming foyer welcomes you inside, where original hardwood floors & trim, high ceilings, ornate solid wood doors, front and rear staircases, and two sleeping porches reflect the home’s vintage character. Both levels of this 2-story offer spacious, light-filled rooms and kitchens with newer appliances. The expansive backyard is a true highlight, with multiple gardens, perennials, mature trees, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. 816 Clark was a longtime residence of an artist, painter & collaborator, and housed the company of many visiting writers, artists, and creative thinkers. Though time has left its mark, this distinctive home has a past all its own, ready for its next chapter. Enjoy the best of private, in-town living with a generous lot, established gardens, and easy access to downtown and campus. Fun fact - the house was built by Rush Clark, the namesake of Clark St.
