Coming Soon · Lebanon, Indiana · MLS 22124129
Slower Mornings, Wide-Open Evenings
A 1961 ranch on more than half an acre just outside town — and a reminder that Lebanon still knows how to give you both quiet and a life.
Some houses announce themselves with square footage. This one announces itself with the quiet.
You turn off the main roads of Lebanon and the noise drops a register. Not into isolation — into space. Corners of Boone County still do that. 2070 E 100 S sits in one of them: a one-level home on more than half an acre, just far enough outside town that evenings stretch, and close enough that you are never really gone.
Coming Soon. $264,900. Three bedrooms. One bath. 1,161 square feet. Those are the facts. They are not the reason to go. The reason is the feeling those facts cannot carry: land, light, original hardwoods, and a town that still works like a town.
The house that lives larger than its number
A thousand-and-change square feet can sound small until you understand how the house is used. It is one level. Five rooms. No stairs negotiating with groceries. Original hardwoods in the living area and bedrooms — the kind of floors that make a house feel older in the good way. An eat-in kitchen. A fireplace. A deck that dumps you straight into yard.
The current owners did not stage it like a catalog. They lived in it like people with a point of view. Artistic. A little unexpected. In photos, personality flattens into “decor.” In person, personality is the point. You will keep some of it. You will change some of it. You will know which is which only after you walk it.

There is one bathroom. That sentence belongs in the open, not buried. For the right buyer it is a non-issue. For the wrong buyer it is the whole story. What the house gives back is land, light, and a floor plan you can inhabit on day one — plus a one-car garage, a fenced yard, and two sheds. The unglamorous extras that make a half-acre usable instead of theoretical.
The yard is where the story turns
Lebanon has plenty of houses. It does not have endless half-acres with no committee standing between you and a Saturday. This lot is 0.55 acre. Garden beds if you want them. A firepit once the sun drops. A dog that can run without a stopwatch. Room to put a chair somewhere and leave it there until October.
A wide shot of grass is not the same as standing at the back of the property and realizing the day has more edges than the house has rooms. Tour this one from the outside in. Walk the fence line first. Then go inside and see whether the hardwoods agree with you.
How the property spends its space
The bars are a visual, not a survey. The point is simple: the land is doing as much work as the house.
Lebanon, on purpose
Lebanon is not trying to be Carmel, and that is the charm. It is the county seat. A square-and-storefront downtown that still works like a downtown: shops, restaurants, the small-town rhythm of knowing where you are. Under three miles from the house. Close enough that “running into town” is a sentence, not an outing.
A mile the other direction sits the Boone County Fairgrounds — summer nights, events, that Midwestern calendar that still organizes a community around weather and gathering. You can hear the season from here without living in the parking lot.
Then there is the other Lebanon. Lilly’s LEAP campus is under ten miles. That is not trivia. It is why a quiet house on E 100 S is not a retreat from opportunity. It is a place you can come back to after it. Boone County has been living in two speeds at once: farmland and fairgrounds on one side, labs and logistics on the other. This listing sits in the seam.
From the driveway | About how far | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Boone County Fairgrounds | Under 1 mile | Summer nights and community without living on the grounds |
Downtown Lebanon | Under 3 miles | Shops, dinner, errands — town as a habit, not a trip |
Lilly LEAP campus | Under 10 miles | The job growth story, with a quiet place to land after |
School district | Lebanon Community School Corp | The local system tied to the address |
Who this home is actually for
Say yes if | You want a yard more than a bonus room. You like original hardwoods. One-level living matters. You would rather hear evening quiet than a subdivision sprinkler system. |
Think twice if | You need two bathrooms now, a large primary suite, or 2,000+ square feet on day one. This house is compact on purpose. The land is the expansion. |
Come anyway if | You have been saying “I just want a little land” and then touring in-town lots that leave you restless. This is that feeling, attached to a house you can actually buy. |
It is for the first-time buyer who does not want their first house to feel disposable. For the person leaving an Indianapolis apartment or a tight subdivision. For a small household that would rather have evening light and a firepit than a second powder room they would use twice a week.
Coming Soon is the invitation
MLS 22124129 is not fully in the market melee yet. That is the window. There is a virtual tour if you want to know whether the layout belongs on your list. Then there is the real visit: the floors, the lot, the quiet, the three-mile path into town.
I do not ask people to fall in love with a caption. I ask them to walk the property.
Private tour
Come walk 2070 E 100 S.
Let the house be small. Let the evenings be wide.
