Under contract

Don't miss out on the rare opportunity to own a four-bedroom, three FULL bathroom, all- brick home on a finished basement! Located just fifteen minutes from Exit 98 on Interstate 64 (Mountain Parkway), this home lies 39 miles from Hamburg Pavilion in Lexington, and 20 miles to Mountain Parkway Exit 33 at Slade. This home is the ultimate corner-lot oasis in a conveniently located low-traffic area just off the beaten path. Thoughtfully remodeled by the current owners, this all-brick home has all the bells and whistles, and you don't have to worry about the use of "lipstick on a pig" shortcuts in this one. Practically every nook and cranny has been updated with high-end finishes, not with the typical builder-grade items currently found in most flip houses. From the REAL bamboo hardwood flooring to the custom cabinetry and quartzite countertops in the spacious and efficiently designed kitchen, no detail was overlooked. Don't worry about power outages here...there are multiple heat sources in addition to the HVAC. In place are both propane wall units and a wood burner which utilizes a functional fireplace, and you can even cook on the top. There is a shed directly behind the house which was built on top of a well house. It isn't used currently, but the pump could easily be reconnected to power. In the past, reportedly, this structure was additionally used as a smokehouse and would make a good cellar or storm shelter. It will be summertime soon, and the outdoor living will be easy! Take time to relax under the shade of multiple mature trees, or tend to the chickens and take the time to plant that big garden you've been planning. You will have almost two full unrestricted acres where you can do what you want! The spacious screened-in porch, just outside the kitchen, incorporates a metal ceiling and concrete floor for easy cleanup, and makes a wonderful space to entertain or play. Short-term or long-term visitors coming to visit? There is plenty of space for all of them! The finished basement, with open living room/kitchen area, could be used as separate living quarters. There is a generously sized bedroom downstairs with a full bathroom, and just beyond its large closet is a utility room which has an additional laundry hookup. A dedicated separate driveway lies just outside the walkout door, so guests can come and go without disturbing the folks upstairs. Cousin Eddie can even park the camper on the concrete RV pad out back, which has its own electric hookup as well as an additional dedicated driveway. For those with security concerns, this home is AT&T fiber-ready, with both Ring and ADT security systems in place (3 cameras connected to each system), which are currently functional and convey with the property. This is an amazing property and has it ALL! It's your turn to love it and make it your own!
