Ivy Grace

7 guests, 4 bedrooms, 4 beds, 2 baths

Ivy Grace is a beautifully renovated 1924 Bungalow in the heart of the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana. We’ve personified this home as a distinguished dame - an art collector, book lover, travel enthusiast, neophyte gardener, and hostess of the neighborhood soirees. She may long for her speakeasy days of the 1930s, but she is a caterpillar turned butterfly in her recent reincarnation.

Ivy Grace the perfect place for parents visiting their college-age children, a girl’s weekend retreat, work retreat, or anyone looking for a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of a walkable and inclusive neighborhood.

The new pergola with motorized screens and louvered ceiling beats the heat. Sofa, Roly Poly Chairs and pistachio colored stool. Not in scene is matching pistachio Weber charcoal grill. Everything tastes better on a barbie.
