Former high school gym that has been transformed into a stunning four-bedroom house with the kitchen built on a BASKETBALL COURT hits the market for $600,000
A former high school gymnasium turned into a beautiful four-bedroom home with a kitchen built on a basketball court has hit the market for $600,000.
The 11,000-square-foot property, built in 1922, was previously an athletic center used by Wilkinson High School in Indianapolis.
Due to lack of use, the home was originally put up for sale in 2022 and purchased for $300,000 by a couple who then went on to renovate the space.
It is now a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home spread over 3.6 acres.

The entrance leads directly to the kitchen, which was built on top of the former basketball court and still has the original black lines painted across the floor.
However, you now cook on the field, with a double refrigerator, pantry and plenty of storage space.
There is also a spacious dining table for eight people and a built-in popcorn machine.
Further on in the house you will find the seating area in the courtyard with a cozy sofa, TV and macramé decorations.
The hallway is lined with mirrors, lamps and side tables and leads you to the three bedrooms.
One room has a wall-mounted TV and a gray and white bathroom, while the other is decorated with pink accents and a queen-size bed.
The bathrooms have gray, white and gold elements.
