This stunning Elm Heights brick home has a marvelous location near Indiana University and wonderful access to the 40 acre Bryan Park. This traditional center entry home has had a wonderful renovation with an additional wing that accommodates a large entertaining kitchen with hand crafted custom cabinetry. Busy gourmets will love two sinks-one for you and one for a sous chef. This delightful gourmet kitchen with island and extensive built-ins and pantry storage has French doors that lead to the screened porch on the south side of the home. Great for seasonal dining! There is a large formal living room complete with wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases and access to the side covered patio on the west side of the home. There is no shortage of covered outdoor dwelling space as the screened porch on the south side of the home has a wonderful view of the wooded backyard and the detached artist's studio.  This tasteful home has four large upper level bedrooms, plus a small study on the upper level. The architectural addition of the home included the upper level primary suite with beautiful bath area and large primary bedroom with custom ceiling treatment and a dedicated upper level porch with impressive views. The secondary bedrooms are large in scale and the home has a pull down stair for a full third level insulated attic with open span. The fifth upper level room has great potential as a study or extra storage.  The two upper level bathrooms were completely re-built and renovated with custom tile and tasteful fixing. Hardwoods continue on both the main and upper levels of the home. The lower level has a family room with built-in bookcases and access to the spacious lower level study with large south facing window and built-in bookcases. There is a utility room, ideal for storage and access to another storage room on the western side of the house.  The addition to the home was completed in 2008 and the detached studio in 2018. The studio has its own heating and cooling mini-split system. There are solar panels on the home, a recently installed EV charging hookup and this home built in 1928 features Trane furnaces.  Striking custom touches were designed into this home addition by Jim Rosenbarger and the house exhibits a great level of maintenance and care.  Artists or writers will appreciate the detached studio at the rear of the property with bright window spaces that enhance this charming workspace.
