A classic updated Cape Cod in a prime Butler-Tarkington location! Within the past five years, the house has received a new roof, new gutters and gutter covers, new water softener, a new kitchen with quartz counters and stainless appliances, refinished (actual) hardwood flooring, and two renovated bathrooms. All downspouts were buried as well! The lower level includes a large, open recreation room perfect for a home theater or other activities. But there is also a large amount of unfinished space for storage and possible workshop/workout space. The second floor primary suite (with its smashing new bathroom) also includes a large bonus room -- currently a walk-in closet -- that could easily become a small fourth bedroom or extra office. Much of the home's interior has been freshly painted. French doors lead from the dining room to the screened porch - with a lovely view of the well-sized back yard. 5301 finds itself located just a few blocks from the restaurants and shops at both 56th & Illinois and 49th & Pennsylvania -- Illinois St. Food Emporium, Patachou, Hubbard & Cravens, Starbucks -- all within walking distance. And, of course, Butler University is even closer, providing concerts, lectures, theater and more year-round. Famed Holcomb Gardens is a popular spot for picnics. Many will also enjoy the Canal Trail that connects to Broad Ripple, the Monon Trail, Downtown, or points north to Carmel and beyond.
