Eric Miller on the Small House Society yahoo list was on Historic Properties today and noticed these very small houses in Indianapolis for $5K. Seems perfect. Save an old house and live small! These may not be considered tiny but they are small by American standards and a great bargain.
Shotgun built c.1880, 840 sq. ft. Simple front porch trim and a later rear addition make this shotgun cute and cozy. Spacious back yard with alley access. Exterior rehab is already completed.
Historic Landmarks Foundation is the nation’s largest local or statewide preservation organization. One of our programs is the Fund for Landmark Indianapolis Properties (FLIP). FLIP acquires abandoned and threatened historic properties and markets them for sale to preservation minded buyers.
To ensure their preservation, all of these properties are sold with a protective covenant agreement which spells out restoration timelines and the requirement to seek approval for all work performed on the exterior of the structure.
