Falling in love with this home starts at first look! Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in Meridian-Kessler, picture yourself spending evenings on the north-facing front porch. This five bedroom, five full bathroom home is certainly true to its MK roots and with all the modern updates you'll want. Exposed beams, antique 'wavy glass' windows and refinished, original hardwoods meet you at the entrance. Two separate living spaces w/ 9' ceilings lead you to a large, eat-in kitchen and then out the back door to an outdoor space perfect for hosting or for family dinner. The chef's kitchen has it all! S/S appliances, gas range, large island, stone countertops and a wall of windows! Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms including the primary en suite! The main floor bedroom is flex space perfect for a playroom or office. The basement has another two egressed bedrooms with two bathrooms, laundry and additional storage. The rear-facing two car garage enters through the basement with a drop zone by the stairs to the main level. Updates include: HVAC, tankless water heater, landscaping, retaining wall, sewer line, vinyl windows, electrical and water lines! This is as turn-key as you'll find in Midtown.
