Of course it is great to be featured, the bigger story is why this home stands out.
A Home Built Around the Monon Trail Lifestyle
For many Indianapolis residents, life often includes using and enjoying the Monon Trail. For the homeowners that border the Monon Trail they are integrated into the Monon Trail seamlessly.
This home offers the type of lifestyle that majors in walkability and connectivity.
Morning run or bike session. Saturday walk to grab a coffee. Summer-time ice-cream. Evening walk to a restaurant.
Over a Half Acre in Indianapolis
The trail access is awesome. However it might be even more uncommon for this property to have .53 acres of land!
This means a backyard that can host just about any of your ideas. A garden, chicken coup, volleyball court, there are so many options.
It’s a great combo: city access + trail access + large backyard
