It’s easy to overlook this four-bedroom, two-bath 1915 Midtown fixer, hiding as it is behind an ugly porch. But the 3,036-square-foot home in leafy Meridian Park, halfway between downtown and Broad Ripple, has plenty of potential at $119,900 (a two-bedroom condo one block away recently sold for $310,000). Original wood floors, an Arts and Crafts staircase, most of the wood windows, and a coffered ceiling remain. But the rest? Every room needs serious work. Here’s what it would cost—for starters—to renovate the hidden gem, according to Remodeling’s 2015 Cost vs. Value Report for renos in Indianapolis.
