Exceptional location. Quaint and simple Bedford stone home has full master bath added, kitchen updated, hardwood added in LR/ kitchen, additional bedroom added, and gallery (behind kitchen) enclosed, insulated, and marble tile installed. Home now features newer Anderson windows (3 original windows remain) and Anderson sliding patio door. The basement has been finished with insulated walls and floating floor w/vapor barrier. Home provided a frequent, entertaining venue for the owners as friends/family often joined them for gourmet dinners (gas stove with ventilation hood in kitchen) cooked by the owner himself. After the meal, guests retired to the covered patio for candlelight relaxing. Just a charming and beloved home in a fantastic location a short stroll away from The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky, Lexington, and the University of Kentucky's Commonwealth Stadium. Southern Heights Neighborhood Association eligible: membership voluntary, dues $25yr.
