This historic Zionsville Village gem was built in 1864, on an east Elm St. block that is one-way, so incredibly peaceful even by Village standards. Large quarter acre lot with magnificent trees add to the serenity of life well lived here. This property is much like a great novel, that when walking through, you appreciate all the many up-dates owners have made over the 161 years this mighty house has stood, as if you are reading a new chapter for each familie's addition. Walking in the front door you are not disappointed with the gracefully curving staircase that beacons eyes up wondering what's instore up-stairs. To your right is a den/library lined with bookshelves, and like all Main Floor rooms boasts 10' ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors. Walking to your left, you see the large living room- and tucked in one corner is the base of a turret- added by one family well after 1864- and used by current owners originally as a play room when kids were young. Now it serves as a perfect space for many flowers and plants. Open directly in front of you is the biggest surprise of all, an incredible addition of dining/kitchen/TV room with soaring 18' vaulted ceiling and sky lights- wow! Beautiful cherry cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances are exceptional. Moving on through you find a powder room, and laundry, and Main Floor bedroom with en-suite bath. A sunroom en route attaches home to 3 car garage with storage above, EV charger, and topped with solar panels- owner estimates those panels cut electric usage by about 40%. In the back hall you come upon a second stair way, this one not nearly as charming as the old front curving staircase, but this straight one makes moving furniture up and down much easier! These stairs go right to primary bedroom on upper level- this also an addition a while ago...cathedral ceilings, two closets, en-suite bath, great hardwoods. Two other bedrooms on this floor- all in 4 star Zionsville schools!
