About this home
Some properties simply can't be recreated. Tucked away on nearly 2 private wooded acres along Indian Creek, this property offers something that has become incredibly difficult to find...a peaceful, private setting where mature trees, flowing water, and nature surround you, yet shopping, dining, major interstates, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Imagine slow mornings on the expansive custom deck with coffee in hand, watching deer wander through the trees as the creek quietly winds below. It's the kind of setting that makes you forget you're still in Indianapolis. Built by a true craftsman, this home was designed with quality construction long before production builders became the norm. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with significant investments already made including a newer roof (approximately four years old), encapsulated crawlspace, foundation reinforcement, backup generator, newer mechanicals, and a custom deck intentionally designed to capture the wooded views. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, over 1,900 square feet, and a 3-car garage. While a new owner may choose to update finishes over time, those are projects that can be personalized. What cannot be added later is nearly two acres of wooded privacy, a creek in your backyard, decades of mature trees, or the craftsmanship and solid construction this home was built upon. If you've been searching for acreage, creek frontage, mature trees, privacy, Lawrence Township Schools, and a custom-built home with exceptional bones, you'll understand why opportunities like this rarely come available. Some buyers are looking for updated finishes. Others are looking for a place they'll never find again. This property is for the second buyer.
