1300 SE Riverside Dr, Evansville, IN 47713

Mining magnate William Ingle commissioned Anderson & Veatch architects in 1923 to build a home suiting his stature, reflecting his famed logistics and seamless flow from coal mines at Reitz Hill and Ditney Hills. Before the home was built, it was featured in the Evansville Press for its size, style, and modern conveniences - such as an unheard of 4 & 1/2 baths and attached two car garage. The home sits on a massive, shaded lot for the downtown area at 1/3 of an acre, fronting the prestigious SE First Street, Monroe Avenue, and SE Riverside Drive. The home's style is an impeccable take on the English Cottage Revival - with massing, form, & hipped gables still repeated in suburban architecture to this day. The roof is thick variegated slate, and downspouts and guttering are all in copper. The floor plan is impressively forward thinking for 1923, with massive great room, stunning sunroom, ample dining, and large kitchen complete with pantry and half bath around the hall connecting to the garage and full 1,939sf basement. Windows throughout are adorned with a leaded diamond pattern. Floors in the great room and dining are of Butternut or Chestnut. The second floor features five bedrooms, Oak floors, and includes an impressive master suite with its own hall, his & hers closets, and full bath with marble tile and period fixtures. Connecting to the master is a bedroom suitable as well as an office or nursery, with a separate dormer area with built-in shelving. Connecting to the 6' wide landing hall and bedroom off master is a laundry room so glorious it impresses any custom build to this day. Featuring a row of 4 massive built-in lockers sixteen feet in length, natural lighting, and full bath, the laundry room is simply stunning. At the north end of the hall is a built-in closet featuring roll-bearing, pull out sweater shelves. To the northeast off the hall is another full bath, linen closet, and two bedrooms with walk-in closets, one with built-ins as well. South of the hall is the 2nd story's 5th bedroom. Walk up to the 3rd floor to find a cedar closet, 2 large fully floored unfinished rooms, a finished hall, full bath with claw foot tub, period sink, and 6th bedroom. The Ingle estate is on the market again after years of decline and recent stabilization. It is ready for a roaring renovation to bring this 1923 glory back. Massive in size, style, and opportunity, this project house is one to buy now. Don't let this opportunity slip away.
