About this home

Perfectly positioned between the trendy energy of Fountain Square and the historic charm of Irvington! This 3-bedroom home is a rare find for those looking to build instant equity. The heavy lifting is already done with a newer HVAC (2 yrs), all-new plumbing (2025), and updated front faux-stone siding. Inside, the original hardwood floors are just waiting for a simple refinish to truly sparkle and maximize your ROI! The exterior is a true urban oasis, featuring a massive, level, and fully chain-link fenced backyard. Don't miss the versatile 1-car garage, the cool flex space you've been looking for to create a home gym, game room, or creative studio. Located on a quiet, wide street in a historic district, you are just minutes from downtown hospitals, major employers like Eli Lilly, local splash pads, and top-rated dining. Whether you are looking for your own home, a high-yield rental, or a quick-equity flip, this move-in-ready property is a strategic win in a high-demand area.
