About This Home

Lucky you! Great price and location in walkable, popular Meridian-Kessler. Sit on the porch swing and enjoy music of the annual French Market. Gorgeous hardwoods, crown and cove molding, French doors to dining room. Updated kitchen with butcher block, breakfast bar open to dining room. Quartz counters and classic white kitchen. Updated baths; hall bath with double, raised sinks, tub/shower with subway tile to ceiling. 2 bedrooms have walk-in closets, rare in this area. Then, surprise! 3rd floor finished with cathedral ceilings, dormers, windows, knee-wall storage. Great hang-out/get-away space. Concrete patio is under shade trees and a great outdoor "living room"/entertainment area. Dual HVAC; totally rewired. Off-street parking, pavers and beautiful retaining wall with attractive fence and landscaping = oasis! Walk to choice of schools; listen to church bells. 5 blocks to Monon Trail.
