On the market for the first time in 27 years! This charming and artsy brick cottage in the heart of the Highlands is full of character, thoughtful updates, and timeless curb appeal. With 1,473 square feet of finished space plus an additional 564 square feet in the basement, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers inviting living spaces and cozy, creative touches throughout. The family room welcomes you with warm hardwood floors, an original wood-burning fireplace, and natural light pouring in through the windows. It's the perfect spot for quiet mornings or fireside evenings. The formal dining room is full of character, featuring original built-ins and two large closets - ideal for hosting dinner parties or storing board games, serving pieces, and more. The kitchen was completely gutted and beautifully renovated in 2018, featuring updated appliances, slow-close cabinets, and generous pantry storage that makes organization a breeze. A convenient half bath is just around the corner, and the window above the sink offers a lovely view of the private, landscaped backyard. Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized with walk-in closets - a rare find in a home of this age - and share a beautifully updated full bath with clean, classic finishes. The unfinished basement adds even more functional space with a dedicated laundry area, a utility sink, interior access to the one-car garage, and plenty of room for storage, hobbies, or a future workshop. Outside, original brickwork and lush, low-maintenance landscaping mean no mowing required - just space to garden, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. The beautifully maintained front garden adds to the home's eye-catching curb appeal and warm welcome. With a new roof installed in 2020 and a location just blocks from Bardstown Road, local parks, shops, and restaurants, this well-loved home blends historic charm with everyday comfort in all the right ways.
