Life here can be as simple as a morning on the Monon, an afternoon by the pool and friends in the backyard by evening. Set in the established Village of Mt. Carmel, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home pairs thoughtful updates, an incredible backyard and a location close to some of Carmel's best amenities. The updated kitchen was designed for connection, with an opening into the family room creating open sight lines between the two spaces. Picture friends gathered in the kitchen while dinner comes together, a game playing in the family room and the wood-burning fireplace glowing in the background. Built-in bookshelves add character, while the front formal living room-currently an office-and separate dining room provide flexibility. Upstairs, the primary and secondary full bathrooms have been completely renovated. Outside, nearly four-tenths of an acre, fully fenced and surrounded by mature trees, gives entertaining room to spread out. Shoot hoops on the basketball court while dinner is on the grill. Gather on the patio or separate deck, tend the raised garden beds, or let the two-level playhouse with electricity become headquarters for the day. This isn't simply a large yard-it's outdoor living with room to actually use it. You're also walkable to the Monon Trail, close to Clay Terrace and minutes from the restaurants, coffee shops and energy of Downtown Carmel. Quick access to US-31 makes connections to I-465 and Downtown Indianapolis convenient. Village of Mt. Carmel adds a community pool, clubhouse, playground and tennis facilities, creating a lifestyle where a Saturday can start on the Monon, move to the pool and end with friends gathered in the backyard.
