There are homes near the Monon Trail, and then there are homes where the Monon is literally in your backyard. Welcome to 4805 Winthrop Avenue, a character filled 1915 home in one of Indianapolis' most loved pockets between Meridian Kessler, SoBro and Broad Ripple. Step through your backyard and onto the Monon Trail for morning runs, bike rides, dog walks, coffee dates and an easy connection to some of the best local restaurants, shops and neighborhood hangouts in the city. Inside, this 3 bedroom home pairs historic Indianapolis charm with substantial recent updates. High ceilings, rich architectural trim, a coffered ceiling and fireplace bring the character, while quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated flooring and a beautifully updated bath make everyday living feel decidedly more current. The major improvements have already been tackled too, including a new roof and siding in 2025, radon mitigation system, basement French drain, upgraded sump pump with battery backup, and energy efficient smart lighting system. Outside, mature trees and a fully fenced backyard create a surprisingly private retreat with a rear deck for grilling, entertaining or relaxing after a day on the trail. And with no HOA, you get the freedom of an established neighborhood along with one of the most unique lifestyle locations in Indianapolis. The best part may be what is waiting just beyond the backyard. Follow the Monon north toward Half Liter, BreadWorks, Diavola, Mama Carolla's, the shops at 54th and the Monon, and Broad Ripple Village. Head toward College Avenue for neighborhood favorites including Upland, Delicia, Marrakesh, Prufrock Coffee and more. If you've been searching for a Broad Ripple area home, a Meridian Kessler home, a walkable SoBro location, or an Indianapolis home directly on the Monon Trail, this is the one that is difficult to duplicate. Your backyard doesn't just have a view. It has a destination.
