ABOUT THIS HOME
Tucked in the heart of Meridian-Kessler, just two blocks from the vibrant 54th & College corridor and moments from the Monon Trail, this exceptional bungalow at 5420 Guilford Avenue offers the perfect blend of charm, condition, and location. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable- gray siding with crisp white trim, a welcoming brick front porch, lush green lawn, and professionally designed landscaping featuring hydrangeas, boxwoods, hostas, ornamental trees, and a charming flower box window. A newer concrete walkway and fully fenced backyard with a brick patio create ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining, while the recently built oversized two-car garage is a rare bonus- it's 24 x 24, can accommodate large SUVs and extended cab trucks, has lots of storage in the ceiling, and an app controlled oversized door. Inside, the home is equally impressive. Refinished gleaming oak hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and an open, flowing layout define the main living space. The living room seamlessly connects to the dining area and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry to the ceiling, a stylish tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a dedicated coffee/cocktail bar hub. Newer Pella windows provide both quality and efficiency. Two main-level bedrooms share a thoughtfully updated bath with a glass-enclosed shower, double vanity, and elegant tile work. The lower level offers abundant storage and future potential for additional finished living space. Meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready, this is a special opportunity in one of Indianapolis' most sought-after neighborhoods-just steps from local favorites like The Jazz Kitchen, Mama Carolla's, Twenty Tap, Fresh Market, Fat Dan's and many other exceptional locations that make this walkable location so highly desirable.
