The most expensive house in Indianapolis is presently listed with a price of $6.5 million. The theme of the mansion was predominantly inspired by the late owner's Japanese heritage.
The estate's former owner wanted a massive house with a lot of open space. The Eastern influence was very clear by merely taking a look at its exterior garden. It had a koi pond with interior spaces that were primarily decorated with shoji panels, according to Realtor.
"The upper end luxury buyer does not want a me-too type of home," Jay O'Neil, a known broker in the state, pointed out. This luxurious home is the perfect choice for potential buyers who are not interested in owning a property that looks pretty much like the rest in the area.
The house does not have "a piece of drywall," which makes it stand out further among the cluster of huge estates in Indianapolis.
Moreover, O'Neil mentioned that Frank Lloyd Wright and his insights served as inspiration for the property's gated design. This highly expensive Indianapolis mansion can be found after a 10-minute drive north of the state's downtown area.
Wright's influence is very apparent in how wood was primarily used in the house's design and architecture. Plus, it featured a variety of glass panes that were creatively molded with unique geometric lines. With these glass windows, O'Neil is confident that it is the best summer home. "It really invites the seasons in," he said.
This Japanese-themed estate was a seven-year project. The hard wood floors were imported from Africa, while the chandeliers found in the massive living room were artistically hand-made by a skilled craftsman from Hawaii.
"No expense was spared," revealed O'Neil. "They sought everything to the nth degree."
It is regarded as the area's most expensive home since the median home price in February in Indianapolis was $145,000. Plus, with the clear luxury that the house was built with, O'Neil promised that anyone who walks in its doors will have their jaws dropped.
The house not only attracted buyers from the United States but also those outside the country. According to the report, this Wright-inspired property actually attracted buyers from all over the globe especially now that Indianapolis developed into a "vibrant hub" for different businesses that could contribute to the global economy. Regardless of the race or nationality of the house's next owner, it is guaranteed to be the perfect residence for anyone who is not interested in owning or living in a typical mansion.
