Like-New Construction in the heart of the Original Highlands! This striking 2 Bed, 2 Full Bath single-story home recently underwent a comprehensive, top-to-bottom renovation that showcases a meticulously curated, design-forward aesthetic. Positioned on a Corner Lot w/ Off-Street Parking, you'll have the very best of Bardstown Rd and Baxter Ave at your fingertips: artisan coffee shops, award-winning restaurants, eclectic local boutiques, farmers markets, Cherokee Park, NuLu, and Downtown all sit just minutes away. Every major system stands fully updated for ultimate peace of mind: New Roof, New Gutters + Siding, New Craftsman-Style Windows, New HVAC + Insulation, New Plumbing and Water Heater, New Electric throughout, plus all New Doors + Fixtures. Inside, you will love the Hardwood Flooring that radiates warmth across a thoughtfully reimagined floor plan. The Living Room commands attention with dramatic Floor-to-Ceiling Windows, Recessed Lighting, and an original brick hearth that grounds the space in authentic Highlands character. The Eat-in Kitchen features Contemporary Cabinetry, Quartz Countertops, Stainless Steel Appliances, Vent Hood, and a statement peninsula crafted for casual dining, elevated entertaining, or gathering before a night out on Bardstown Rd. Tucked away privately at the end of the hallway, the Owner's Suite delivers a true retreat experience with a spa-inspired bath that blends natural wood-tones with a magazine-caliber shower. In addition, a rare Walk-in Closet includes Laundry Hookups for added convenience. The 2nd Bedroom offers generous proportions and dual closets, while the Hallway Bath mirrors the home's elevated aesthetic with a Dual Sink Vanity, crisp architectural detailing, and tile selections that feel custom rather than builder-grade. Corner Lot positioning welcomes exceptional natural light, framed by mature trees that enhance the streetscape and underscore the premier setting. Rear alley access provides Off-Street Parking behind a privacy fence, while the backyard delivers a private patio space with minimal upkeep. Distinctive finishing touches such as original corbels above the front door, sleek black exterior trim, curated sconce lighting, and a bold 3-Panel Glass Doors introduce a confident, modern edge without compromising classic charm. Rich textures and intentional material selections create a refined, bespoke finish rarely found at this price point. This is not just a renovation—it is a fully realized design statement for those ready to immerse themselves in the Highlands lifestyle.
