About this home

Public Remarks: This charming updated cape cod on a beautifully landscaped flat lot is in a desirable Highlands location near Bellarmine University. The open eat in kitchen with gas stove was completely gutted and renovated. There are 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor and a completely gutted, insulated and newly drywalled 2nd floor space perfect for office, playroom or a bedroom (non-conforming). Hardwood floors throughout. All new Marvin Windows, new front door, new water heater. The new back porch/deck provides a wonderful spot to enjoy the gorgeous huge backyard designed to mimic naturally occurring Kentucky habitats with native wildlife friendly plants. The large yard is fenced on 3 sides, and a new 2+car off street parking area was created recently (with plenty of space to build a garage if desired). Laundry is located in the spacious unfinished basement.
