INDY ABOUNDS with real estate to satisfy just about any urban dweller. Throughout the city lie pockets of new construction, historical neighborhoods brimming with character, and conveniently located apartment buildings. For those shopping at around the half-million price, two enticing options stand out.
The Victorian Charmer
A red house with a bright green door is festive, and this Fletcher Place find boasts year-round curb appeal. As if the white picket fence and wraparound porch aren’t sweet enough, the delights keep coming when you enter this 1895 gem. The fully renovated interior has an aesthetic that leans cheery and contemporary, with dark hardwoods adding just the right balance to the natural light-filled spaces. The footprint allows for several en suites, plus a main-level laundry room. Out back, a surprisingly large deck spills onto a yard dappled with shade from a grand old tree and an adjacent two-car garage.

The Modern Townhome
The rich, ocean-toned exterior of this newly constructed townhome in Kennedy-King is punctuated by stylish black window trim and a welcoming porch. The first floor is long and open, reminiscent of the bygone shotgun style. The seamless flow from the kitchen into the dining and living room areas continues out to the backyard. Finishes are on-trend: grays and whites with sleek black hardware. A walk-in pantry is cleverly concealed behind a pocket door. Yet the primary suite steals the show with a spa-like bathroom and walk-in closet.
