About this home
Welcome home to this charming stone-front Cape Cod offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a detached one-car garage, a partially finished basement, and an incredible backyard retreat in the heart of St. Matthews. Step inside to a spacious living room featuring beautiful original hardwood flooring that continues throughout much of the main level. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen, where you'll find stylish quartz countertops, creating a comfortable layout for everyday living and entertaining. Two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom complete the first floor, while the entire second level offers a private retreat with its own half bath, making it an ideal primary suite, guest space, or home office. The partially finished basement provides endless flexibility with space that would make an ideal family room, home theater, game room, workout area, or additional living space. Soundproofing ceiling tiles make it especially well suited for movie nights, while a built-in aquarium creates a unique focal point and relaxing ambiance. The aquarium, along with the fish, may remain with the home. The utility room houses the laundry, and the shelving units currently in place can remain with the home, providing exceptional storage and organization. The true showstopper is the backyard. Just off the dining room, you'll step into an impressive vaulted screened-in outdoor living room featuring soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, exposed beams, built-in speakers, ceiling fans, and panoramic views of the backyard. Adjacent to the screened porch is a covered deck designed for entertaining, complete with a built-in serving bar, porch swing, ceiling fan, and built-in storage. Continue into the expansive, fully fenced backyard where you'll find a dedicated fire pit gathering area, mature shade trees, and plenty of green space to enjoy. The detached one-car garage is currently utilized as a workshop and storage space, while an additional parking pad at the front of the home provides added convenience. Offering timeless character, flexible living space, and one of the most impressive outdoor entertaining areas you'll find in St. Matthews, this home perfectly blends classic charm with thoughtful updates and is one you won't want to miss....
