About This Home
In desirable tree-lined Avondale nestled between St. Matthews and the Highlands, this single-story cape cod style home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level with 2 bonus and a great room in the partially finished basement below. While updated, it retains many of the original features iconic to this home's era. Original features include hardwood floors (newly refinished), full bath with original tile and ''cascading water'' style bathtub (newly resurfaced), a large living room and adjacent foyer with curved ceilings, archways and wood burning fireplace... even original glass doorknobs. Updates include a remodeled kitchen with pantry, primary bedroom suite and an outdoor living oasis. The updated open concept kitchen and dining room are bathed in natural light and feature new quartz countertops with tiled herringbone accented backsplash and floors, updated lighting and new stainless-steel appliances which remain with the home. The updated primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling, skylights and dimmable lighting also has an ensuite full bath (with jetted tub) and accent ledge which is as attractive as functional with media/stereo hardwiring and closets with organizers and shelving spanning the length of the room. Its other 3 bedrooms, one used as an office while the other two accommodating complete queen bedroom sets, have also been refreshed recently by refinishing the original hardwood floors and new paint throughout. An ensuite primary bedroom patio door leads you to a deck where morning coffee awaits. Its steps take you to a custom freeform pergola-covered patio with a natural gas-plumbed firepit, making trips for propane tank refills a thing of the past. Dimmable lighting and fans add just the right touch in creating an oasis of tranquility or the perfect spot for socializing. The original partially finished basement has been updated to include replacement windows and new paint from top to bottom. Its bonus, workshop/craft and great rooms are your canvas ready for your personalization as a play/media room or wherever your imagination takes you. A three-car garage with over 1100sf is a gear head's delight with an additional electrical subpanel, natural gas plumbed infrared heater, air conditioning unit and room to spare with additional attic space accessible by pull-down stairs. Other updates include replacement windows, exterior/storm doors, lighting, flooring and paint throughout. New water heater and newer HVAC and roof (with metal accent). This home, lovingly cared for and maintained, is move in ready and turn-key. Conveniently located near the heart of everything... shopping, entertainment, dining and quick commutes virtually anywhere! Homes like this don't come along often. Don't delay... make it yours today!
