The Philip Rivers era in Indianapolis is officially over now that he has listed his beautiful suburban Indianapolis craftsman house for $1,049,000 after purchasing it less than a year ago for $995,000. Rivers announced in January that he was retiring and heading to Alabama to coach high school football.

That means the Indianapolis house needs to go, and thanks to a blazing hot Indy housing market, he shouldn't have trouble selling this house that was built in 2013 but looks brand new. Are you worried about your four kids not having enough room in this 7,500 sq. ft. house with a big basement? Don't worry, Rivers has nine kids. He managed to find space for all of them. You should be fine with Keegan, Kelli, Konner & Kory. There are five bedrooms and four and a half baths. Relax.

From Philip's realtor:

Outstanding 5 bedroom 6 bathroom craftsman style home located in Prestigious Brookside neighborhood. Home built by Old Town Design Group for Home-A-Rama. Main floor master bedroom suite with custom ceilings, 4 fireplaces, Great room with soaring ceilings and gas fireplace, hearth room off of kitchen area leads you to a covered outdoor living space with fireplace.

I know what you're thinking: Yeah, but how far is it to Starbucks? Two miles. You can walk, wave to all the neighbors and suck down a mocha. What about Whole foods for the cucumber seltzer water? 4.8 miles. What about the local elementary school? It's an easy mile stroll. Get those steps in, Indy!

Mortgage: $3,500/mo. before figuring in taxes and fees for the pooper scooper team to come out weekly to clean up after your Goldendoodle. You should plan on a $5,500 nut per month.
