Your ticket to 3.21 acres of solitude. This Leanne Ford-inspired, limestone-kissed cottage balances thoughtful, organic design with your own private Indiana forest. The land is just right--functional yet not exhausting: a sun-soaked front yard for gardening and play, with old-growth trees and a gentle slope for hiking and woodland adventures in the back. This 3-bedroom (including a private flex suite), 1-bathroom ranch features 1,744 SQFT of expansive living. Wide-plank, white-oak-inspired LVP flows throughout. The tuxedo-inspired kitchen features a hand-plastered vent hood, modern checkerboard flooring, a new stainless steel appliance package, refreshed solid wood cabinetry with new countertops, and a Kraus champagne bronze faucet. New dual sliding glass doors in the kitchen and primary bedroom call you to the life outside. Delight in the thoughtful character found throughout, from unique crown molding to the wood-burning stove with a limestone hearth. The dining room features a custom built-in banquette with a Noguchi-inspired paper lantern. The bath is your private oasis; color-drenched in Whispering Blue limewash with a fluted vanity and built-in medicine cabinet. A pop of original linen-textured wallpaper leads to the versatile office or nursery space. The primary bedroom is oversized, featuring a walk-in closet, extra storage, and enough footprint for a generous future en-suite. Tucked behind an antique door, you'll find the massive 3rd bed suite--a versatile flex space with its own separate entrance, laundry, and large closet. Recent mechanicals provide peace of mind alongside a seller-sponsored home warranty. A 2026 extensive overhaul includes a new roof, new rafters in the living room, interior and exterior paint, crawlspace restoration, and updated lighting. A new mini-split and a recently serviced HE HVAC system (2021/22) ensure efficiency. Majority new windows, sliding doors, and a fresh gravel horseshoe driveway complete the exterior, with plenty of space for a future garage. Smart tech includes an Ecobee thermostat and Kwikset keyless entry. Located in the coveted Marlin Elementary district, moments from I-69 and Oliver Winery. Experience a turnkey escape while remaining close to IU Health, Crane, or Indianapolis. A rare find for the buyer who values character, stunning acreage, and quiet.
