Welcome to 1526 S. East St. in the heart of Bates-Hendricks, where neighborhood charm meets downtown convenience. This fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom townhome offers an easy path into one of Indy's most connected and fast-growing areas. Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready, the home is designed for flexibility. For an owner-occupant, it removes the stress of starting from scratch with furniture, finishes, appliances, and everyday comfort already in place. For an investor, it presents a turnkey opportunity to begin operating as a short-term or mid-term rental in a location with strong access to downtown Indianapolis, Eli Lilly, Lucas Oil, local dining, coffee shops, and nearby destinations like The Vault. Inside, the main level feels open, clean, and functional, with LVP flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ceiling-height cabinets, charming built-ins, and convenient main-level laundry. The kitchen is anchored by a practical island that adds extra prep space, casual seating, and a natural gathering point for everyday living. Upstairs, all three bedrooms offer generous walk-in closets, with the primary bedroom featuring a charming reading nook that adds to the character. The updated bathrooms include tiled shower surrounds, modern vanities, and quartz tops. Out back, a private fully fenced yard offers low-maintenance outdoor space, whether used for morning coffee, pets, grilling, or a quiet reset after a day downtown. A detached single-car garage adds convenient off-street parking, a valuable feature in an urban neighborhood. Whether you are looking for a furnished home in the city or a downtown Indy investment property ready for immediate use, this Bates-Hendricks townhome offers comfort, flexibility, and location in one complete package. For buyers looking to think bigger, the nearly identical unit next door at 1524 is also available. One is move-in ready, but two could be a strategy.
