1216 Main St, New Harmony, IN 47631

Situated on the South end of Main Street across from the Harmonist Labyrinth, the 1854-constructed Wheatcroft home has a certain stature to it. With a sprawling yard and large shade trees, the home comprises more than 2,069 square feet and features a blend of charming character with modern amenities. The two stories of this home show of original poplar floors and tremendous woodwork details. The kitchen has been updated to include Wolf range, Sub-zero refrigerator, granite and stainless countertops, and opens up to the recently expanded sunroom. The den off the kitchen has a fireplace with built in bookshelves. The dining room features chair rail with easy access to the kitchen. The main level living room is spacious and nice for entertaining, just off the entry. Upstairs are two large bedrooms: one, with a loft and a bathroom suite; the other, with a cedar lined closet, utility closet, and bathroom with both the original claw foot tub and a modern walk-in tile shower. The detached two-car garage has ample storage space for cars and a golf cart, with a loft for plenty of storage, and a lean-to for more equipment and toys. The old clapboard barn at the back completes the look of the property with additional covered storage, leading into the small tree grove buffer along the eastern boundary. Conveniently located near Murphy Park, the home is easily accessible off Main Street and provides a circle drive for good traffic flow in and out, especially when guests are in town. The home has an inviting front porch where one can look out on both the Harmonist Labyrinth and Indian Mound Farm. Undoubtedly, one of the nicest features of the home, however, is a large open sunroom which walks out onto the large back patio, built in 2013. Stone columns line the exterior of the stained concrete patio which is completed by a nicely done pergola and water feature. The patio is shaded throughout the day, but is especially nice in the early morning or evenings.
