Rarely does a home of this grace and architectural significance become available in Meridian Kessler and this home has never been on the market! This meticulously renovated American Foursquare Colonial blends timeless architecture with modern luxury on one of the most desirable blocks. Inside, nearly four thousand five hundred square feet of refined living space offers five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, where original character meets thoughtful contemporary upgrades. Original refinished hardwoods, arched openings, dual heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and designer lighting preserve the home's historic charm while elevating everyday living. The main level is designed for both elegance and flow. A spacious formal living room with dual entrances leads to a versatile formal dining room or office with charming French doors. A striking double-arched entry opens to an exceptional accented butler's pantry with checkered tile flooring, four wine racks, and abundant cabinetry. The gourmet kitchen features top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, an eight-foot island, and seamless connection to the great room and mudroom with board-and-batten detail and surround sound. Upstairs, the reconfigured layout delivers an expansive primary suite with walk-in closet, generous secondary bedrooms, convenient laundry room, and French doors leading to a private upper balcony. New trim throughout the main and upper levels adds a crisp, timeless feel. The exterior has been extensively updated with new Wincore black-trim windows, new roof, fresh exterior paint, new retaining wall, and lush landscaping. A new extended two-car garage with expanded apron; street; and private drive parking enhances functionality.
