809 16th Street, Indianapolis

Welcome to your new home in College Corner, named due to its proximity to the original site of Butler University, just three blocks away. Dating from the time when this neighborhood housed workers and managers at the active furniture factory, commercial dairy operation, and lumberyards at 16th and the current Monon Trail, this historic home was renovated ca. 2005, with additional cosmetic and mechanical updates since then - including new exterior paint in 2022, and a new roof in 2025. Entering the front door from the deep porch, open sightlines connect you to the front living room and large dining room, featuring hardwood floors (original in the living room!), and the retained Craftsman details of the handsome support column and staircase. The efficient kitchen, with a sizeable pantry, leads to the back porch, and a half bath rounds out the functionality of the floor plan. The staircase leads to the upper open hall, which provides a fantastic showcase for your artwork or photos. The roomy primary bedroom features a cathedral ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a refreshed ensuite bath with combination tub/shower. The second bedroom, at the rear of the house, has a closet that's equipped with hookups for an all-in-one washer/dryer, if that suits your needs. It is separated from the primary bedroom by an office/library/craft room, and is served by the adjacent hall bath, updated with a new tile surround on the tub/bath combo, new toilet, and new vanity. In the basement, you'll find plenty of room for storage, a high-efficiency furnace, a tankless water heater, water softener, and laundry. A cozy back yard space allows you a spot to relax, and you'll appreciate the two-car detached garage! You'll also enjoy close proximity to the O'Bannon Soccer Park and playground, the Monon Trail, Provider, the Alchemist, Kountry Kitchen, and with a short drive, North Mass Boulder, Kan-Kan, and Amelia's! All this at a competitive price, in the Old North Side!
