1901 E Maxwell Lane

This meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Lustron Westchester Deluxe offers an exceptional opportunity to own a historically significant home—one of fewer than 2,500 ever built for soldiers returning from World War II. This timeless treasure is located less than one mile from Indiana University’s campus and near a bus stop. Situated on a spacious corner lot, this one-story property blends iconic mid-century innovation with thoughtful modern updates. True to its heritage, the home showcases original Lustron features including the signature zig-zag downspout trellis, distinctive tripartite windows, and steel-paneled interiors with built-in closets and a built-in vanity in the primary bedroom. The house is made of sturdy enamel steel, including the beams, frame, and interior walls. The roof is composed of steel tile. Lustron homes were built to last with little maintenance so there is no need to replace the roof nor paint, unless you want to. The radiant heating and the enameled walls create an allergy-friendly environment. The beautifully remodeled third bedroom is a standout, offering a flexible living space complete with new laminate flooring, a sleek full bathroom, efficient mini-split system, and private entry. Recent upgrades ensure peace of mind and comfort: new electrical systems in both the house and oversized attached garage, a new roof on the new addition (2020), and a professionally installed French drainage system surrounding the home’s exterior. This Lustron home near campus is a rare find. Experience the charm, efficiency, and enduring legacy of this architectural gem.
