A one of a kind cottage tucked into the highly desirable St. Matthews area, this charming 1.5 story home is bright, airy, and filled with character. Mature trees, layered landscaping, and established evergreens create a remarkably private setting, while a full front porch accented by exposed wood beams provides a warm and welcoming first impression. Inside, abundant natural light highlights the hardwood floors, warm wood trim, graceful arched openings, built in cabinetry, and brick fireplace. The main living area flows into the updated eat in kitchen, creating an open and inviting layout. The kitchen blends charm and function with porcelain countertops, an apron front sink, a 36 inch gas range, open shelving, generous cabinetry, a pantry cabinet with slide out shelves, and built in banquette seating surrounded by windows. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, with one currently used as a dedicated office featuring gorgeous built in bookcases and cabinetry. The office opens directly to a private enclosed screened porch that is currently used as a catio, creating a peaceful extension of the living space. An updated full bathroom completes the main level. The entire upper level is dedicated to a secluded owner's suite. This private retreat features a generously sized bedroom, gorgeous hardwood floors, its own mini split system, a freestanding soaking tub, and a custom closet with extensive built in storage. The finished portion of the basement is currently set up as a game room, but its flexible layout could also serve as a home theater, fitness area, playroom, hobby space, second living room, or comfortable place to entertain. An unfinished portion provides valuable storage and houses the laundry area, along with a convenient utility sink. The outdoor spaces are just as memorable. The fully fenced backyard unfolds through garden paths, mature flowering trees, established beds, and multiple areas for relaxing or gathering. A patio, deck, covered spaces, and additional seating areas make it easy to enjoy the peaceful surroundings from several different vantage points. The detached garage is currently arranged as a casual hangout space with a television, but also offers flexibility for hobbies, storage, or traditional garage use.
