Public Remarks: Location, Location, Location. Located just 3 blocks from Seneca Park and in the heart of St. Matthews, this adorable Cape Cod boasts 4 bedrooms, +1 Bonus Room used as another bedroom, 3 bathrooms, and 2600 Sqft of living space!! A gracious, light-filled, formal living room has original hardwood floors and gas fireplace. This wonderful home has an updated, large, eat-in kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances (all new in 2008) . There are three bathrooms, one per floor. The first floor bathroom (new in 2013) was just renovated with luxurious features including marble surrounds. The lower level bathroom (new in 2010) features a jetted Jacuuzi tub and shower with dual heads. Owner completely finished the basement in 2010 to include waterproofing with transferable lifetime warranty, open floor plan, and wiring for surround sound entertainment. This home offers many great upgraded items including new top of the line Anderson windows (2013), new highly efficient HVAC (2008), new roof (2011), new privacy fence (2013) and a recently erected garden shed adding to the ambience of the backyard. All this new home needs is a NEW OWNER! This charming St. Matthew's home will not last!!
This is a very well kept home with great details like archways, hardwood under carpet and glass doorknobs. There is a lot of space here with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The floor plan flows very well and features a very large kitchen for an original home in St. Matthews. The first floor has hardwood under carpet, large living room with built-ins, fireplace and large window. The two first floor bedrooms have great details such as an octagonal window and built in cabinetry. Upstairs there is more of the feel of a center hall colonial because of the large hall with cedar lined closet and full bath with walk in shower AND two very good sized bedrooms wih built in chest of drawers, dormers, bookcase, and wonderful nooks and additional attic storage. The partially finished basement has a large family room with a bar area, and if you like wood finishes, this is a real treat. Owner will leave all appliances. This is truly a nice, solid home that lives much larger than it looks. Home is covered by a one year 2-10 home warranty.
