What's special
This charming 1910 Arts and Crafts stucco home on a corner lot in Meridian Kessler feels like a special find - starting with the covered, open-air front porch and a cozy swing, perfect for relaxing any time of day. Inside, it is filled with preserved character, including original nail-faced hardwood floors, built-ins, and leaded glass windows that let natural light into the versatile floor plan, complete with thoughtful improvements for move-in-ready living. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and over 2,200 square feet of finished living space, it features a spacious main-level primary with en-suite bathroom and two closets, main-level laundry, and a finished daylight basement. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets and a spacious second full bath with dual vanities and a tub/shower combo. The kitchen was recently refreshed with new stainless appliances, including a newly plumbed gas range. Other meaningful updates include a high-efficiency Carrier HVAC system with dehumidifying/humidifying integration, a waterproofed basement with an extendable warranty, a 3-year-old water heater, a new roof in 2018, and a new sump with a backup battery. Outside, the corner lot offers versatility: a private fenced backyard with just enough space to relax without taking over your weekends, front-facing native landscaping, and a small deck off the primary suite. A convenient one-car garage is spacious enough for parking and storage. With the library, parks, schools, transit, and neighborhood favorites close by, this is the kind of place where daily life feels a little easier-and a lot more connected. Lovingly updated and completely ready for its next chapter!
