ABOUT THIS HOME

Seldom does a residence of such grace, history, and architectural significance become available in Meridian-Kessler. Nestled on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, 5726 Central Avenue masterfully blends early 20th-century charm with modern sophistication. Originally built in 1913, this distinguished home was meticulously renovated in 2020 with reverence for its historic roots and an eye for luxurious detail. A grand, welcoming entry-anchored by the original, restored front door-sets the tone for the exquisite interiors that follow. Step inside to discover rich hardwood floors, thoughtfully preserved millwork, and expansive, light-filled living spaces. The original dining room has been reimagined as a refined home office with views of the lush front lawns. The gracious living room, anchored by a gas fireplace and flanked by custom built-ins, flows seamlessly to an enchanting screened-in porch-ideal for quiet mornings or elegant evening gatherings. The heart of the home is a showstopping chef's kitchen, redesigned to perfection with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, leathered granite and quartz countertops, and a spacious central island. Open to the hearth room and dining area, this space was designed for entertaining and everyday luxury. The adjacent hearth room features a second gas fireplace and opens directly to a slate patio with pergola-an inviting outdoor retreat. Upstairs, the expanded primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with a private sitting room, a charming sleeping porch, a spa-inspired ensuite bath, and dual closets, including a bespoke dressing room. The finished lower level adds even more versatility, offering a generous family room and an additional bedroom with ensuite bath. In addition to the attached two-car garage, a detached garage features a fully equipped carriage house with a living area, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette-ideal for guests, extended family, or au pair accommodations. A truly exceptional offering.
