517 Lockerbie Street Indianapolis, IN  46202

Ideally located in the heart of Lockerbie Square sits this one-of-a-kind historic cottage which once belonged to the caretaker for James Whitcomb Riley. The original property was taken down to the studs and added onto in 2002, so it lives like a newer construction home! Large eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home and opens to an oversized family room featuring a fireplace and garden views. On the opposite side of the kitchen are the formal dining room plus a den/library - the perfect layout for gatherings. Rare main level primary suite with large walk-in closet and spa-like bath. Convenient main level laundry room offers plenty of storage and folding space. Situated at the back of the home is a beautiful and cozy sun room which leads to the fully fenced gardens and patio. Upstairs, find another spacious bedroom with a full bathroom plus loft. This area could easily be converted into 2 bedrooms if needed. The clean, concrete-poured basement with tall ceilings and daylight windows offers even more room for storage - OR - it could be easily finished to add additional living space. Deep 2-car garage with storage space has a beautifully finished carriage house apartment overhead! The carriage house could be perfect for your guests, in-laws, au pair or roommates - OR - lease it as an income-producing property to lower your carrying costs! Quality materials and attention to detail are apparent throughout this impeccably maintained piece of history. Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
