About This Home

As of June 2021

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! This beautiful home on a corner lot is close downtown bars, restaurants, and shopping. Imagine walking to Rupp Arena! The Bell Court neighborhood offers a wonderful sense of community. When you approach the house, you are instantly greeted by a wrap around porch. Walk right in to find a classic foyer and gorgeous staircase. The kitchen, living, and formal dining rooms offer lots of space for hosting; the kitchen even has an original butler's pantry! Upstairs, three bedrooms and two bathrooms with recently refinished hardwood floors provide plenty of space for everyone. The primary bathroom has been completely updated with top of the line finishes. Outside, watch the gardens come alive in the spring in your private fenced-in back yard.
