You’ve Walked Past It. Now You Can Live In It.
KAPOW. Everybody who has spent a semester near campus knows this corner, and most of them have looked up at this house at least once. Brick, 1938, two full stories with an open masonry porch — the kind of character nobody is building anymore and nobody can fake.
“You live there?!” Why yes I do. Huge smile!
Four levels of it. A full finished basement at the bottom, two floors in the middle, and a finished third floor on top that is exactly the room your group will fight over. Two kitchens on two levels, so ten people are never queued behind one stove. Laundry is right here in the house. And at nearly 3,900 square feet, this is one of the biggest houses we have near campus — ample space is not a figure of speech here.
It’s built for a large group that actually wants to be together. Timeless charm, room to spread out, and a floor plan that gives everybody somewhere to be.
Coffee, Pizza, and a Bus Stop at the Corner
Soma and Inkwell are right there for the caffeine, and Mother Bear’s is around the corner for everything a 10 p.m. decision requires. Downtown is an easy walk when you want more than the neighborhood.
And the corner itself does a lot of work: local and IU bus routes both stop at Atwater and Eagleson, right outside the door. Getting anywhere on campus or across town is a walk to the end of the block, not a hunt for a parking space.
Steps From the South Side of Campus
Academic buildings are close enough to make an 8 a.m. survivable. The Jacobs School of Music is just up Eagleson, the School of Optometry is up Atwater — the same street you live on — and the School of Education is an easy walk. That’s a lot of campus within a few blocks of your front door.
