Single-level homes in Meridian-Kessler are starting to become an endangered species as renovators are finding a market (controversially) for “pop-tops,” or second-story additions. This ranch house, though, appears to avoid that fate. In a neighborhood of head-turning Tudors and sweet little cottages, this three-bedroom, three-bath limestone property might not be the first to catch your eye, but thanks to a thorough renovation and some original midcentury-modern features, it deserves a serious look. Realtor Kyle Williams points to the pitched roof, tall windows that meet at a corner, open living and dining space, and multiple access points to outdoor areas as elements that should appeal to those shopping for a midcentury-modern home. The updated kitchen might disappoint purists, but who can argue with the picturesque front lawn, circular drive, attached garage, and backyard playhouse?
