For the first time in 59 years, the Woods House is offered for sale. Indianapolis architect Clyde E.

Fay Jones, Woods set the house into the hillside of a wooded ravine in north Butler-Tarkington, under sweeping pyramidal rooflines, deep eaves, stone and wood. It belongs to the land.

The main level opens as one flowing space, decades ahead of its time; a stone fireplace and a long living room with north-facing glass windows across the entire back wall, placed by design for soft, even light all day. Every fall, the leaves change right outside. The dining room steps onto a balcony in the treetops, and a laundry/mudroom is set off the entry gives easy access to the kitchen. A floating two-story open staircase, rising through a double-height space, descends to all three bedrooms on the walk-out lower level, a rare plan that gives every room the trees and the quiet shelter of the hillside: a primary suite with walk-in closet, a study-ready bedroom with its own sliding door to the yard, two full baths. Updated kitchen and baths, the architect's 1974 family room with recessed wood pyramid ceiling, dry bar and patio access, attached 2-car garage with the workshop where he built his own speakers that filled the house with jazz. A short walk to Butler, Hinkle Fieldhouse and the Sellick Bowl; minutes to the Canal Towpath, the shops at 56th & Illinois and Broad Ripple. A one-of-one, offered once in a generation. Read Less
