Highlands Gem w/ hot tub, fire pit - walkable to Bardstown Rd
Planning your Kentucky Derby trip? Hitting the Bourbon Trail? Planning some college visits? This gorgeous home will be a great start and end to your day. With three private bedrooms and a basement apartment, there will be plenty of space for your group to spread out. And with wifi extenders on each floor, there will be plenty of connectivity.
The main floor has a fully stocked spacious and beautiful kitchen, dining room with a table that can expand to seat 10-12, formal living room with piano and gas fireplace, and two sunrooms. Hang out in the den where you can play games, watch smart tv/cable tv, or have a drink by the electric fireplace. There's also a great space to set up an extra table for puzzles, cards, or games.
Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and a huge bathroom, along with a dedicated office for those times when you still need to do a little work...or some creative writing.
The basement suite includes a queen bed, sectional sofa that converts to a double bed, smart tv and wii gaming system, full bath, and laundry facilities.
And when you are ready for some fresh air...sit on the porch swing, gather around the fire pit, dine alfresco on the deck, chill in the hammock chairs, enjoy the outdoor smart tv, or relax in the outdoor hot tub. Take a walk up to historic Bardstown Road and watch the city come alive! There you can do a little shopping or enjoy all the amazing restaurants and bars (and then walk back home without worrying about having to drive or park). There are also several parks nearby.
Upon request and for an additional fee, we would be happy to pre-shop and stock your kitchen and provide transportation to/from your events.
