Units n/a

Welcome to 1938 N Dearborn-a charming Traditional American home tucked away on a peaceful street in the heart of North Brookside Park. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath property offers 1,162 square feet of main-level living space and a full basement, just waiting for your personal touch. Built in 1920, the home blends vintage character with functional layout. Inside, you'll find a bright and spacious 21x11 living room, a cozy eat-in kitchen, and a flexible bonus room perfect for a home office, playroom, or potential guest space. The main-level laundry adds everyday convenience not always found in homes of this era. Both bedrooms are well-sized with great natural light. The covered front porch enhances curb appeal and is perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The full basement offers excellent storage or expansion potential, and the detached 1-car garage adds additional value. The home sits on a low-maintenance 0.12-acre lot with small trees and a fenced-in yard option. With some cosmetic updates, this home could easily shine-and it's priced well below nearby comps to account for that work, making it a smart investment for first-time buyers or savvy investors. Located near local parks, coffee shops, and just minutes from downtown Indianapolis, this is your chance to create a beautiful home in a growing area at an unbeatable value. Come see the potential for yourself and bring your vision to life!
