A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS 26.5 ACRE ESTATE IN THE HEART OF INDIANAPOLIS! After more than 45 years this unique property has become available! Driving down this prestigious, tree lined Lane you'll feel a sense of calm before you enter the distinguished residence, originally constructed in 1928 for Nicholas Noyes and wife, Margaret Lilly. The home offers nearly 10,000sqft of refined living space, and includes a quaint cottage house with aprox 1300sqft next door. The current owner has maintained the integrity and uniqueness of the home, allowing it to stand as a testament to enduring architectural excellence. Discover hidden panel openings, crests etched in stone, and so much more. The residence is thoughtfully designed with four stories and an elevator providing access to 2 levels, enhancing both convenience and accessibility. The grand living room is the perfect place to entertain guests before they wander out to the connected sun porch and outdoor patio. HERE is where everyone stops to take in the breathtaking views! The incredible landscape is comprised of over 26 acres of private grounds, including a winding brook, beautiful pond, and formal gardens. 2 meadows and a private forest offer a sanctuary for wildlife. When the Noyes' originally designed the estate, they requested one specimen of every kind of tree that would grow in this environment be planted. There have been many changes to the property over the years, but the original design has been maintained and enhanced. The wishing well in the center of the formal garden was donated to the Indianapolis Museum of Art years ago. Walking paths thru the forest have been added, as well as a path on the berm by the pump house overlooking the river. The current owner also added a pool and tennis/pickleball court for family enjoyment. This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of significant scale and historical character. See documents for some additional history!
