Public Remarks: Highlands Charmer! Spacious Cape Cod on an extraordinary double lot. Conveniently located just blocks from Bellarmine University. The first floor features a large Living Room, Eat-In Kitchen, two large Bedrooms and a Full Bath. Upstairs you will find a bedroom large enough to comfortably use for multiple purposes. (Non-conforming due to ceiling height.) The fenced back yard is incomparable. The covered patio is ideal for entertaining and is wired with electricity and overhead fans for warmer weather. Plus, there is a one car attached garage and full basement!

Highlands Charm! This well built home is being sold ''as-is'' to settle estate. Lovely Cape Cod on a beautiful level yard and close to schools, churches, Bellarmine University, and on the bus line. First floor has living room with fireplace and mantel, plus book shelves. Large eat-in kitchen with loads of cabinets and large pantry. Range and microwave remain. Two nice size bedrooms with full bath in hallway between the 2 bedrooms. First floor features hardwood floors except for kitchen and bath. Seconds floor, 350 sq ft is non conforming due to ceiling height slightly below 7' and is unheated. However it is finished with carpeting and closet space which lends it to be a perfect 3rd bedroom. Basement is partially finished wit bath, lots of kitchen cabinets and sink. Finished ceiling with abundance of lights and two large storage areas with lots of shelving. Washer/dryer along with kitchen range remains. Nice enclosed back porch over looking level back yard. You'll love the 350 sq. ft. storage shed with buck stove, window fan, 11 windows, plus exit doors. Perfect for work shed or children's playhouse.
