About this home

Ideally located in Meridian-Kessler, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers easy access to Butler University, Broad Ripple, Midtown, Downtown, and some of Indy's favorite restaurants, shops, and trails. The main and upper levels of this beauty were extensively renovated under the thoughtful eye of an interior architect, with careful attention to layout, function and beautiful finishing details while still honoring the distinctive character and original details so valued in a historic home. Beyond the beautiful finishes, significant behind-the-walls improvements-including new electrical and plumbing, insulation, drywall and radon mitigation-along with a new roof, bring peace of mind. The main floor features an inviting living room, an expansive and completely redesigned kitchen with generous space for cooking and gathering, an adjacent dining area and convenient half bath. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each offer walk-in closets, including one with a larger windowed walk-in that hold the possibility to be used as an office, play space or creative retreat. The unfinished basement offers plenty of potential, and seller-drawn plans for a future garage with an apartment above provide vision for another opportunity to expand. Outside, a large yard with mature trees, deck and pergola creates a wonderful extension of the living space. With so much thoughtfully renewed and its original charm beautifully preserved, this special home is ready for its next owners to simply settle in and enjoy!
