Newly refinished wood floors, modern upgrades, and a prime location near Bardstown Road and Cherokee Park welcome you to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. With 2,000 square feet of living space and an expansive 900-square-foot basement, this character-filled home offers flexibility, comfort, and thoughtful updates throughout. The open-concept living and dining room flow seamlessly into a bright, updated kitchen featuring GE appliances, a new refrigerator, touch-activated faucet, marble tile backsplash, and hardwired under-cabinet lighting—designed for both functionality and style.
