Hot Property: Mid-Century home designed by Clowes Hall architect
Step into this Mid-Century Modern home built in 1960 on the Northeastside, and you can see that it has been updated. The flat roof has been replaced, and red wood siding has been added to the exterior.
But the blueprint of the home at 6115 Green Leaves is much the same as it was when created by Indiana's own Evans Woollen III — the same architect who designed Clowes Hall, the Minton-Capehart Federal Building and the Indianapolis-Marion County Library.
The four-bedroom home is for sale for $375,000. The footprint combines natural materials and clean lines. Ten-foot windows connect open rooms to the outdoors and the wooded lot. Bedrooms with exterior doors and private decking enhance the connection to nature.
The home is on a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by rock garden landscaping. In the past decade, owners have built two additions — a dining room and kitchen on one end and a master suite on the opposite side.
"The additions were built very respectfully to the design and proportions of the original home," said realtor Joe Shoemaker.
A kitchen island with sink faces a bay of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the wooded ravine. The same view is featured in the family room (the home's former kitchen) and is paved with hardwood floors. The master suite includes a fireplace, walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanity.
A key feature in this home is vibrant bursts of color, from the yellow master bath vanity to the red, orange and yellow color blocks in a hallway. Another architectural signature is a partial brick wall in the family room and skylights in a hallway.
The home also features a spiral staircase leading to an unfinished recreation room, and a three-car attached garage.
