5786 Delaware Street, Indianapolis

Searching Meridian-Kessler for historic character without taking on the renovation project that so often comes with it? This 4-bedroom, 2-bath 1928 Arts & Crafts home delivers a rare combination of location, condition and value in one of Indianapolis' most sought-after neighborhoods. Thoughtfully updated while preserving what makes a Meridian-Kessler home special, the interior features refinished hardwood floors, original built-ins, substantial moldings, a classic fireplace and abundant natural light. The renovated kitchen pairs beautifully with the home's original architecture, while both full bathrooms have been stylishly updated. The floor plan offers something increasingly difficult to find: flexibility. A main-level bedroom and full bath create options for guests, multigenerational living or a private workspace. The spacious living room flows to a formal dining room with French doors opening to a private porch, while additional space off the kitchen works easily as an office, pantry or everyday drop zone. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and the second full bath. And then there is the outdoor living. Start the morning on the screened front porch, gather around the private rear patio for dinner, and enjoy a manageable yard without giving up the established neighborhood setting buyers come to Meridian-Kessler to find. The waterproofed full basement offers exceptional storage and future possibilities, complemented by accessible attic storage. If your Meridian-Kessler search has felt like a choice between location, character and condition, this is the house that asks a different question: Why choose?
