About this home

Experience the perfect blend of historic Arts and Crafts character and modern peace of mind in this remodeled 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Elders University Heights, just steps from the University of Indianapolis campus. Nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space awaits, featuring complete interior and exterior paint, brand new kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, updated light fixtures, and countless additional touches throughout...classic charm paired with true modern amenities. Enter the home on the main level showcasing classic trim work and soaring 9 foot ceilings. The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring an abundance of 40-inch cabinetry that delivers storage most homes simply can't match. A formal dining room with a charming window seat sets the stage for gatherings, while a sunroom wrapped in windows and framed by glass French doors offers a bright, versatile retreat perfect as a reading nook, plant room, or quiet escape filled with natural light. A main-level bedroom with French doors and a walk-in closet adds everyday flexibility, functioning beautifully as a private home office or guest suite. Upstairs you'll find generously sized bedrooms, walk-in closets, and the 2nd full bathroom. The basement provides ample additional storage, keeping the home's classic layout clutter-free. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard, a back patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining, a large covered front porch, and mature trees that frame the whole property. Private parking is accessible from the alley, and the home sits on two lots totaling almost a third of an acre. Why settle for new construction when you can move into a fully updated home with a century of character already built in?
