Lux Loft Plus is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath upscale apartment with lofted recreation and fitness space, tucked into a peaceful, high-end neighborhood just 5 minutes from IU and east-side shopping. Set on a working farm with a garden, an orchard, and chickens, this sunlit retreat offers a rare blend of luxury and everyday life. Guests enjoy a private entry, king bedroom with piano, music studio, and impressive library, luxury bath with plush linens, kitchenette, dedicated workspace, Smart TV, local coffee, shared terrace, board games and cards, and optional Level 2 EV charging. The apartment is separated from the main home by a locking partition; guests may hear normal household and farm activity.
This is a stay for guests who value design, movement, community, and environmental stewardship. Guests should expect to hear normal household and farm sounds. If you prefer silence, total privacy, or a romantic retreat, ask your host to recommend another "In Bloom Rentals" property.

— The Details —
Lux Loft Plus is an upscale apartment designed with extraordinary attention to materials, craftsmanship, and sustainability. While the apartment has its own private entrance, it is part of a lively, shared household — and that is an intentional part of the experience.
The apartment is separated from the main home by designer, floor-to-ceiling opaque acrylic wall panels that lock on both sides for security. These panels provide visual privacy but are not soundproof. The upstairs loft/recreation space includes a privacy curtain and opens to the main house, meaning guests and owners will hear one another.
Guests should expect to hear the natural sounds of a working household and farm, including:
• A family of six
• Gardeners and beekeepers
• Chickens and beehives
• Two hypoallergenic dogs and outdoor cats
Likewise, the owners may hear guests enjoying a game of ping pong, practicing piano, or strumming a guitar. Quiet hours are 10pm–7am.
For sleep comfort, the apartment includes:
• White noise machine
• Air purifier
• Ear plugs
• Room darkening shades in living room
🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
• King bed with luxury linens
• High-end full-size futon in the living area
• Bathroom with dual access from both the bedroom & living area
🌿 The Property Experience
Lux Loft Plus is situated on a 1.65-acre urban neighborhood farm featuring:
• Seasonal garden
• Fruit trees and berry patches
• Rooftop conservatory
• Chickens and beehives
The owners practice organic, earth-conscious farming methods and share produce throughout the community. They previously supplied local farm-to-table restaurants and are actively seeking new partners.
Coming soon: guided garden tours: 100% of proceeds from bookings and tours benefit the farm’s nonprofit gardening education program.
Seasonal U-pick vegetables and berries may be available — ask your host.
