About this home

Rich in character and history, The Leibundguth House, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath bungalow, sits on approximately two secluded acres in the heart of Evansville's East Side. Built circa 1925 as an executive home and lovingly cared for since, the property showcases exceptional craftsmanship and original details throughout, from the solid oak framing and white oak hardwood floors to the 10-foot ceilings, crown molding, mahogany trim, crystal chandelier, and elegant curved staircase. Enter through the screened porch into the spacious main living area, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point and large windows fill the home with natural light. The living room flows into a bright sunroom with picturesque windows, followed by the formal dining room and charming eat-in kitchen featuring custom hickory Amish cabinetry, island, Staron counters and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and generous windows. The main floor also includes the primary bedroom and a full bath with beautifully preserved period tile and built-ins. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, another full bath with original tile and built-ins, plus a separate living area with kitchenette and balcony. The partially finished walk-out basement adds multiple living spaces, a laundry room, half bath, and an abundance of storage. A large cedar-lined closet, walk-in closet built-ins, and laundry chute are just a few of the thoughtful details found throughout. Outside, the detached extra-deep two-car garage includes a 19x28 studio with a partial kitchenette and wood-burning fireplace. Mature fruit trees, vines, a stamped concrete sidewalk, and peaceful surroundings complete this truly distinctive property, with new HVAC systems for each floor new water heater, and a working boiler add modern comfort to this remarkable piece of Evansville history.
