This amazing 4 bedroom, 2 bath, mid century atomic ranch was purchased from the original owners and refurbished by a local architect in 2009. As you enter you will note the warm, original cork floors that flow throughout this light-filled home. Located just 3 blocks from downtown and Indiana University, the home offers mid century style with an open floor plan, rare in the south campus area. Off the entrance is an updated kitchen with Amish custom maple cabinets and stainless appliances. There is a double window above one wall of cabinets, and a half glass door and additional window at one end. The colorful mosaic floor is consistent with the mid century feel. Don't miss the huge attic storage with the original pull down stairs! The large living/dining area features a wood burning fireplace with brick fireplace wall, a large window in the dining room and a massive bank of floor to ceiling windows facing the back yard. Past the large entrance you enter the bedroom wing. The primary bedroom is large with a wall of built ins and an adorable en suite bath. Three additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the wing. Both baths have been refurbished and include original tile and fixtures. You will notice the extra wide window sills. The finished, rounded corners and lack of interior wood trim create a very clean, contemporary look. Some of the many features of this fine home are large windows in every room allowing light to flow throughout the house, original mail slot and doorbell, and glass doors at both ends of laundry allowing additional light in kitchen. Every effort was made to maximize storage space in the home. An enclosed 3 season room with slate floor and Florida windows leads from the living area to the carport with additional storage and off street parking. The roof was replaced in 2015 and a heat pump/ac was installed when the home was refurbished. Electrical was updated to 200 amp in 2010. All northside windows were replaced with Anderson 400 series casement windows and Bali custom blinds are installed throughout the house. The fireplace has a new liner. At the rear is a limestone patio and low maintenance landscaping. The solar system has net metering grandfathered to 2045. Average 2024 electric bill was $11. This home was restored and maintained with great care. Note: taxes will drop by half if owner occupied.
