Home Description

This is the one. This Colonial Revival home with Beaux Arts features is the only known residential design by architect Fermor Spencer Cannon, designer of Hinkle Field House on Buter University's campus. Located right next to the famed Tuckaway House (on the National Register of Historic Places) in the Meridian Park neighborhood, this 5 Bedroom (one bedroom is an enclosed Sleeping Porch/Solarium) home features two full baths and two half baths spread across three levels. The formal entry features a marble floor transitioning into freshly-restored original hardwood floors throughout the home. The Living Room includes a gas fireplace with an intricate marble mantle. Step down into a sunken library and sunroom with floor to ceiling bookcases and French doors that open into your own private backyard retreat with a Koi pond and outside entertainment area with bar. The breakfast room needs to be seen to be believed with checkerboard marble floors and plaster niches illuminated by sunlight through multiple windows. The primary bathroom features a period bathtub, heated bidet and walk-in shower. The primary bedroom has a huge walk-in closet and an installed stereo system ready to go. Appliances stay in the modern and renovated kitchen. Aspiring chefs will love the huge Butler's pantry. A full bedroom and full bath are strategically located on the third floor providing a separated area for overnight guests. The imposing front porch features limestone columns and porticos. The house has been freshly painted (inside and out), hardwoods sanded and restored, electric wiring has been updated (no knob and tube wiring here!) and the basement has been waterproofed. Other features include: another bar in the basement, a two car garage and a tree house. Appliances included. Close proximity to downtown, lots of dining, Butler campus and the Children's Museum. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Indianapolis architectural and cultural history.
