Renovated Brick Storybook Home On Double Lot In Winslow, Indiana

Located in the small Pike County community of Winslow, Indiana, this recently renovated brick storybook-style home offers a combination of character, practical updates, flexible living space, and a double lot with room to make the property your own. The home is located at 405 Walnut St., adjacent to the Winslow Public Library and close to the town's community amenities. With a detached garage, full walk-up basement, updated mechanical systems, and multiple recent improvements, this property is ready for its next owner. The exterior immediately sets this home apart with its classic brick construction, distinctive arched entry, decorative white trim, and covered front entrance. The brick patio and landscaped front yard add to the home's established curb appeal. Inside, the property retains the character expected from a vintage brick home while incorporating numerous updates that improve everyday functionality. The kitchen was remodeled in 2019 and features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, updated fixtures, and stainless-steel appliances. A brand-new microwave over the range adds another recent improvement. The kitchen opens into a large dining area, creating an efficient layout for everyday meals and entertaining. The dining area also provides an excellent opportunity for additional living space. With an adjoining closet already in place, this room could potentially be converted into a third bedroom, subject to the buyer's desired configuration and any applicable requirements. The existing layout would still allow space for a smaller dining table near the kitchen. The main-floor bathroom was completely gutted and remodeled approximately two years ago, providing another significant update for the next owner. All of the home's windows were replaced with vinyl windows in 2019. The furnace and central HVAC system were also replaced in 2019, while a separate split HVAC unit serving the upstairs was installed approximately three years ago. These improvements provide a strong foundation of updated mechanical systems for a buyer looking for an established home without overlooking the importance of recent major upgrades. The home also features hardwood flooring in the main living and dining areas, adding warmth and character to the interior. Exposed wood ceiling beams contribute additional architectural interest and complement the home's classic style. Large windows bring natural light into the living areas, while the home's traditional floor plan offers several furniture placement options and future customization. A full basement provides substantial additional storage and utility space. The walk-up configuration offers convenient exterior access and adds flexibility for storage, workshop space, hobbies, or future use. Outside, the double lot is one of the property's most practical advantages. The additional land provides room for gardening, outdoor recreation, landscaping, parking, or other residential uses. The property offers considerably more outdoor space than a typical in-town lot, while still maintaining the convenience of a residential setting. A recently built detached single-car garage provides additional covered storage and utility space beyond what is available inside the home. The property is served by natural gas heat, municipal sewer, and fiber internet, adding to its everyday convenience. The combination of updated utilities, recent renovations, additional storage, and outdoor space makes this a versatile residential property with potential for a variety of ownership strategies, including a primary residence or long-term rental, subject to applicable local rules and restrictions. For buyers interested in the outdoors, the Winslow area also offers convenient access to several recreational resources in Southern Indiana. Pike State Forest is located in the Winslow area and encompasses thousands of acres, offering opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, camping, and wildlife viewing. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources identifies whitetail deer, turkey, squirrel, fox, and raccoon among the wildlife species found at Pike State Forest. The broader Pike County area also provides access to Patoka River recreation and nearby public outdoor resources. Patoka Lake offers boating, fishing, hiking, camping, swimming, and other outdoor activities across a large DNR-managed property. Pike County Parks and Recreation also provides public recreation opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, swimming, camping, disc golf, playgrounds, and sports facilities. This property is a strong option for anyone looking for a renovated brick home in Southern Indiana with established character, useful updates, and more outdoor space than a typical in-town property. The 2019 window, furnace, HVAC, and kitchen improvements; a recently remodeled bathroom; newer upstairs split HVAC; a new shingle roof installed in September 2026 with a warranty; a full basement; a detached garage; and a double lot give the property a long list of practical features. The new roof is a particularly timely improvement, providing the next owner with a recently completed major exterior project. Combined with the home's updated mechanical systems and remodeled interior spaces, the property offers a move-in-ready starting point while still leaving room for personalization and expansion.
