Adorable, Affordable and Super Convenient location are just some of the highlights you will appreciate when you make this property your home. Move in condition with an open floor plan, welcoming entry, large deck, huge two car garage, paved driveway, over an acre and half of yard with raised beds, and chicken coop for the farmer in you. Mere minutes to IC and downtown, but with a relaxed country feel. Call today.
Great open floor plan! Over the last 6 years the sellers have turned an unheated entryway into a welcoming sunroom, drilled a new well, replaced the boiler, laid new flooring and updated the kitchen. Outside they have built raised organic beds, a chicken coop, expanded & repaved the driveway and built a dog run. The oversized garage can double as a workshop.
