In the lower $300K range, we found this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home south of Downtown Indy listed for $304,900. The newly painted exterior draws you to the unique green door and large front porch sitting area.
Once inside, new doors, lighting, paint and flooring mean you would never know the house was built in 1900. The remodeled kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a custom green hood.
Out back you'll find a detached two-car garage so you'll never have to scrape snow off your windshield before work.
If your budget is in the upper $300,000s, there are a few interesting options on the market right now.
Just steps from Mass Ave, Monument Circle, Bottle Works and more, this Downtown condo on the market for $375K has a New York brownstone vibe without the million-dollar price tag.
The gated courtyard (that you don't have to mow or maintain) leads into a 2 bed, 2.5 bath condo built in 2002. Updated hardwood floors, a fireplace and large windows make for an impressive living area.
The upstairs also doesn't disappoint, with large windows, a huge jetted tub and walk-in closet.
