324 E Burgess Ave

Nestled in the heart of the Irvington Historic District, just steps from the famed Benton House, this charming Queen Anne cottage at 324 South Burgess offers a rare opportunity to own and restore a true architectural gem. Built circa 1890, this gable-front home with shed roof additions to the rear stands as one of the more modest yet authentic representations of Queen Anne architecture in the area. Originally owned by James Fry-a schoolteacher turned real estate agent-this home is steeped in local history. You'll find classic features from the era, including intricate gingerbread trim and a moderately-pitched gable roof that reflect the enduring charm of late 19th-century design. This is more than a house-it's a piece of the neighborhood's legacy. Restore and thoughtfully repurpose the original architectural elements to bring new life to a home with timeless character. Situated on a picturesque street in one of Indianapolis' most beloved neighborhoods, you'll enjoy the quiet, tree-lined surroundings of Irvington while being just minutes from downtown. Don't miss this rare chance to blend preservation and creativity in a location rich with history and community spirit.
