ABOUT THIS HOME
Perched gracefully atop a scenic, wooded hill on just over an acre, this stunning five-bedroom, four-bath brick residence offers privacy, beauty, and an exceptional northside Indianapolis location. Surrounded by mature trees, gorgeous stonework, and thoughtfully designed landscaping, the setting is both serene and striking-creating a private retreat just minutes from Keystone at the Crossing and Nora's premier shopping and dining. Inside, hardwood floors and abundant natural light welcome you into warm and inviting living spaces. The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated kitchen, featuring custom white cabinetry, elegant stone countertops, a massive center island with seating for five, and professional-grade appliances including a built-in full-size refrigerator and freezer flanking the gas range. A built-in coffee station and wine refrigerator add thoughtful touches for everyday luxury. Just off the kitchen, a bright sunroom with walls of glass and a cozy gas fireplace overlooks the backyard and opens through French doors to the expansive aggregate patio-perfect for entertaining. A convenient dumbwaiter connects the lower-level garage directly to the kitchen for effortless grocery transport. The main level also features a formal living room with fireplace, an elegant dining room, and a spacious family room that could easily be converted into a desirable main-level primary suite. Upstairs, the primary retreat includes a beautifully updated spa-like bath and large walk-in closet, while three additional bedrooms share an updated bath with luxury tub, glass shower, and dramatic skylight framing views of the surrounding trees. The lower level includes a private fifth bedroom suite, a remarkable 2,000+ bottle wine cellar for the serious collector, and access to the attached two-car garage with ample storage. Outdoors, enjoy multiple seating areas, a backyard deck, irrigation system, and a hot tub patio-making this wooded property an entertainer's dream.
