INSIDERS’ GUIDE

Modern, spacious, tailor-made, welcoming, and highly stylized—this year’s Indianapolis Monthly Dream Home combines cuttingedge design with personalized touches on a sprawling, 52-acre property in Zionsville.

“It was a very unique house from the beginning,” says builder Brad Bowman, owner of Indianapolis-based Homes by Design.

From an expansive great room that opens onto a terrace overlooking the infinity-edge pool to a vintage boxing ring and luxe home theater on the lower level, this dwelling is made for entertaining and chock-full of custom details to fit the homeowners’ bold tastes and individual interests.

“They don’t want to be like everyone else,” Bowman says of his clients, a couple with three grown sons.
