Queen Anne Elegance | Historic Luxury Meets Urban Convenience in Downtown Indianapolis Here is your opportunity to own a truly remarkable historic home-a rare Queen Anne-style masterpiece that artfully combines 125+ years of character with every modern comfort. Spanning over 3,000 square feet, this meticulous, top to bottom high-end renovation completed in 2020, with 3+ bedroom, 2.5 bath home is nestled in a walkable urban neighborhood rich with architectural beauty and Indianapolis history, just steps from the billion-dollar Indiana University Medical Campus and multiple top academic institutions. Believed to have once been home to celebrated poet James Whitcomb Riley, the residence radiates historic charm: from the original wood staircase with two landings to the fluted and rosette trim work, custom window coverings, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The main level is intentionally designed for stylish functionality, featuring a dedicated office, open dining and living areas, and a chef's kitchen fitted with luxury, cabinet-faced Bosch dishwasher, including a built-in refrigerator, drawer microwave, and a Cafe six-burner stove. A European-inspired butler pantry with coffee station or additional prep space, along with a custom dining hutch, makes entertaining effortless and elegant. The spacious mudroom with built-in cabinetry and window benches adds convenience and storage, while the professionally landscaped, fully fenced yard, classic herringbone brick walkways, and small herb garden offer peaceful moments in the city. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a relaxing bathroom and a walk-in closet, while a second-floor laundry room and an open common sitting or reading area provide comfort and charm. The carpeted third floor, already plumbed for a future bathroom with endless versatility-as a fourth bedroom, media room, or creative space. Additional highlights include a dry, partial basement, ample attic storage, and rare oversized three-car garage.
