Backyard Basketball & Fireside I Children’s Museum

The one that has room for everyone and everything.

3,800 square feet, a private half basketball court, a sunroom, a fireplace, multiple living areas, and a fully equipped kitchen — built for groups who actually want to enjoy being together, not just sleep in the same building.

Steps from the Children’s Museum and the Central Canal Towpath. Ten minutes from downtown, Mass Ave, and Broad Ripple. Everything Indianapolis has to offer is within reach, and this house gives you a real home to come back to.
