Public Remarks: Great location! This well-maintained brick Cape Cod is nestled on a quiet street in desirable Richlawn, surrounded by restaurants, shopping, schools and everything St. Matthews has to offer, with excellent walkability. Loaded with charm and character, this 4-bedroom home offers many extras that set it apart, including gorgeous hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, a Peter Eichorn stained glass window, built-in book shelves, a spacious 2-car garage, and a covered, enclosed back porch (screen and glass), adding 158 square feet of space to enjoy the private, beautifully landscaped back yard. The finished area in the basement is perfect for a family room and office. The care and attention to detail that has been put into this timeless home is evident. It's ready for you to move right in!

Don’t blink or you’ll miss it! This is about as perfect as they come! Impeccably maintained and updated “40207” charmer! From the limestone edged steps with custom iron railing to the gardener’s dream of a backyard, you’ll want to check out every square inch! New snazzy kitchen works seamlessly and opens to dining area and (Spring is coming!) delightful screened porch. Updated full baths have chic finishes (including Peter Eichorn stained glass window) with marble, granite and custom wood cabinetry. English oak original front door opens to gleaming hardwood floors; abundant natural light from the large windows brightens the dreariest day and will keep you happy! This house has been loved and groomed beyond compare – and it shows! Generous two car garage and basement complement the 'live large' feel. It's rare to find the perfect jewel, but here it is!
