What an incredible piece of Indianapolis history! The William Sanders Home, built in 1820, is the oldest home in the city and features iconic brick farmhouse architecture. One of the home's most remarkable features is its "dog-trot" layout, which separates the two wings and offers a multitude of living possibilities. The front portion of the house includes generously proportioned "public" living areas and two bedrooms upstairs, while the rear wing provides additional living spaces, a second kitchen, and even more bedrooms. Indiana was just four years old when William Sanders began construction of this one-of-a-kind home on the southern section of what was then a 240-acre family farm. The bricks were made on-site from the mud of nearby Pleasant Creek, long before there were any big-box stores for lumber, roofing, or plumbing materials. A second house in the back was added later, adding to the property's unique history. Just a 5-minute walk from Fountain Square, the property also offers four back parking spots and a two-car garage. Truly, a remarkable piece of Indianapolis history with modern updates and flexible living spaces.
