Property Description

5715 Sunset Lane presents an extraordinary opportunity on one of Indianapolis' most private and prestigious streets. Reminiscent of classic Colonial Williamsburg, this iconic Georgian Colonial was originally envisioned by renowned architect Warren Rindge and carries an elite legacy. Built in 1957 by the family behind Wonder Bread it was later expanded by former Eli Lilly & Co. CEO, Richard Wood and recently underwent a meticulous, comprehensive renovation seamlessly blending timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated modern luxury. The heart of the home features an open, seamless entertaining space anchored by a custom kitchen with Fahrenbacher cabinetry, a Thermador appliance suite, and exquisite quartzite counters. Indulge in a reimagined primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors. State-of-the-art upgrades include a wellness room with hybrid sauna, media room, Control4 automation, Sonos sound, and 5 new furnaces and 6 updated fireplaces and chimneys. The legendary South Wing, designed by celebrated cultural landmark architect Jonathan Hess and built by premier commercial contractor Wilhelm, introduces a light-filled tea room with a new copper dome, private offices, and elevator access. The hand-carved woodwork in the Loggia by master artisan P.K. Smith beautifully emulates the style of English master carver Grinling Gibbons. Expansive windows frame breathtaking views of museum-quality grounds officially recognized in the Smithsonian Institute's Gardens of America, complete with an iconic central fountain. A rare, once-in-a-generation masterpiece of history, unparalleled craftsmanship, and modern lifestyle refinement. Welcome home to Sunset Lane.
