University Heights, located between Ball State University and Minnetrista, is a residential and academic Muncie neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along W University Ave near McKinley Ave, where campus-foot-traffic meets coffee counters, casual bites, and small storefronts. Brick Tudors, Craftsman bungalows, and tidy apartment courts set a collegiate streetscape with deep porches and mature canopy. Cardinal Greenway segments and nearby riverside paths shape a walk-and-bike rhythm. Corner taverns and local eateries keep evenings low-key, while campus arts and lectures add a steady cultural pulse.

This is a rare opportunity to own a University Heights Addition home that is very move-in ready. You'll especially love the setting with mature trees, award-winning gardens, professional landscaping, and light-filled back large living/dining room. The home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with 1799 SF above grade living space, and around 185 SF of finished SF in the basement. One bedroom is on the main floor. All appliances and the washer and dryer are included. The laundry room is in the basement. The owner has never lived in the home, but it's believed the roof is new in 2015, furnace and AC is new on the first floor in 2020 (and just one upstairs room is serviced by baseboard heat and a window unit for AC) and the 2nd floor heat pump is new in 2008. Also, most of the windows have been replaced over the years (Marvin and Anderen brand) and much of the wiring in the home was new in 2010. It also has a "SafeBasements" branded wall treatment system (new in 2013) with 2 sump pumps with a pump alarm. Please do your own investigation on the ages of improvements. Immediate Possession.
