(INDIANAPOLIS) - Fans of David Letterman can now stay overnight in the home where the legendary late-night host grew up.

According to Network Indiana, the three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow on Indianola Avenue in Indianapolis has been converted into a short-term rental and is now available on Airbnb.

The house, located in the Broad Ripple area, once housed Letterman before he attended Ball State University, where he began his broadcasting career at the school's student radio station.

Local real estate agent Krystin Wiggs purchased the property after learning of its history and transformed it into a themed rental that highlights Letterman's career. The home features memorabilia from his television shows, photos of celebrity guests and a piece of the set from "The Late Show."

The property can accommodate up to six guests and is listed for approximately $200 per night with a two-night minimum stay.

Network Indiana reports the home sits within walking distance of Broad Ripple restaurants, shops and entertainment, while downtown Indianapolis is a short drive away.

Letterman went on to host "Late Night with David Letterman" on NBC and later "The Late Show with David Letterman" on CBS, becoming one of the most influential figures in late-night television.
