Description
Nestled in the quiet community of Meriden just minutes from Cherokee, this beautifully updated 2-story farmhouse offers the perfect balance of space, character, and convenience. Situated on a rare double lot, this property delivers the peaceful feel of small-town living while keeping you just a short 5-minute drive from all the amenities Cherokee has to offer. Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the warmth of original refinished hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and an abundance of natural light flowing through the main living spaces. The home features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. The main level offers a comfortable layout with inviting living and dining areas, while the upper level includes spacious bedrooms and a refreshed bath. A fully insulated walk-up attic presents an exciting opportunity for additional finished living space—perfect for a home office, bonus room, or retreat. Outside, the property truly shines. The expansive yard stretches across two lots and is designed for both relaxation and functionality, featuring a firepit area, raised garden beds, and an above-ground pool. A standout feature is the oversized 2+ car detached garage/shop, complete with concrete floors, heating and cooling potential, and plumbing already in place for a future bathroom—ideal for hobbyists, storage, or workspace needs. Additional outbuildings and new roofing add even more value and peace of mind. If you’ve been searching for space, character, and versatility—without the burden of larger city taxes—this property is one that invites you to explore all it has to offer. Could this be the combination of lifestyle and opportunity you’ve been waiting for?
