This 1921 Dutch Colonial, just a short walk from Ball State University, is the kind of home that simply cannot be replicated. Rich with character and timeless craftsmanship, it showcases original wood plank floors, parquet flooring, period-specific bathroom tile, dentil molding, paneled walls, built-ins, original light fixtures, real wood doors, wood plank ceilings, and a classic clawfoot tub. With 4+ bedrooms and 2 full baths, this nearly 4,000-square-foot home offers the space, charm, and flexibility to suit a variety of buyers. Storage is truly exceptional, with generously sized closets, an oversized attached garage, attic space, an outdoor shed, and a newer outbuilding currently used for RV storage. Situated on approximately 0.4 acres, the property has been lovingly maintained by its owner and thoughtfully improved over the years. Notable updates include kitchen improvements, landscaping enhancements, a newer furnace, gas water heater, and the addition of solar panels that will be paid off and conveyed to the new owner, offering substantial utility savings. Whether you envision this as a distinctive primary residence full of curb appeal and historic charm, or as an investment opportunity for a multi-person student rental near campus, the layout offers remarkable versatility. A secondary living room and loft area with its own stairwell access provides an ideal separate hangout or study space, while an additional tucked-away landing connects to three spacious secondary bedrooms and the upstairs hall bath, allowing everyone room to spread out comfortably.
