Irvington is a historic neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis, with tree-lined streets, walkable commercial blocks along East Washington and Audubon, and one of the most architecturally rich housing stocks in the city. Homes range from 1900s and 1910s craftsman bungalows to larger 1920s American foursquare and Tudor revivals, with smaller mid-century infill scattered throughout.
Irvington remodel profiles tend toward careful, period-respectful kitchen and bath modernizations. Original hardwood floors, plaster walls, leaded glass windows, and built-in cabinetry are common features that homeowners want preserved during a remodel. Tub-to-shower conversions in original 1920s baths and kitchen layout updates that respect the architecture are the most common scopes.
