ABOUT THIS HOME
Fully updated and move-in ready, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Near Eastside home hits the spring market with everything already done. The renovation started where it should - with the bones. Brand-new HVAC and water heater, updated plumbing with a new sewer cleanout, updated electrical, newer vinyl windows, and a new roof on the garage. The expensive surprises are handled. Walk in, and the open-concept main level flows from the living room to the dining area to a fully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances that stay. A dedicated laundry room and updated half bath sit off the kitchen. Newer hard-surface flooring, new doors, and fresh paint throughout. Two bedrooms on the main floor - one large front bedroom, one perfect for an office or flex space. Upstairs, two more generous bedrooms and a full bath with a tiled tub-shower combo and updated vanity, with new carpet throughout. Out back, a covered porch and a 1-car garage with extra workspace and an additional off-street parking spot. The seller has built two custom wooden gates as a preview of a fully fenced backyard - and with the right offer, they'll complete it. Steps from Brookside Park's 108 acres, community pool, disc golf, and the Pogues Run Greenway - Indianapolis's only glow-in-the-dark trail, connecting to the Monon and Cultural Trail. Minutes from Centerpoint Brewing, Fowling Warehouse, Kan-Kan Cinema, Mass Ave, and the Bottleworks District. I-70 access is immediate. Downtown is 3 miles. Come see it before someone else does.
