Welcome to 9775 U.S. 421 — a charming cottage-style retreat where timeless character meets peaceful, country living. Set along Milton's scenic 421 corridor, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of warmth, simplicity, and a locale surrounded by garden centers, farm stands, and rolling countryside. A classic front porch swing sets the tone the moment you arrive — an invitation to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of small-town Kentucky. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors and soft, airy tones carry you through the light-filled living room and on into the spacious dining room, anchored by a statement chandelier and thoughtful architectural details. The updated kitchen features cream cabinetry, generous storage, tile backsplash, and warm modern lighting. A large mudroom/utility area connects directly to the attached garage, creating an ideal everyday entry point for dropping boots, bags, or groceries after a drive up the hill from Milton's charming local markets. The main-level primary bedroom offers desirable first-floor convenience, while two additional upstairs rooms provide space for guest bedrooms, a home office, a nursery, or studio. The updated bathroom features a modern vanity, sleek finishes, and clean, fresh lines. Out back, the fully fenced, nearly flat yard delivers rare versatility: space for gardening, pets, play, or hosting. Mature trees border the rear of the property, offering privacy and a natural backdrop. A historic hand-pump adds a touch of nostalgia, tying the home's character to the agricultural landscape surrounding it. With newer mechanicals, smart updates, and a floorplan that maximizes every square foot, this home is move-in ready while still allowing room to personalize. This property embodies that perfect blend of home, land, and lifestyle  peaceful, practical, and completely charming.
