Own a piece of Kentucky history with this charming Cape Cod in the heart of Historic Shelbyville. Situated on a .33-acre lot with a fully fenced backyard and attached one-car garage, this thoughtfully updated home blends historic character with modern comfort.
Original hardwood floors welcome you in the entry and continue into the living room, where a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases add warmth and charm. The hardwoods flow into a spacious formal dining room that leads to the updated kitchen, featuring classic shaker-style cabinetry in a rich wood tone, granite countertops, subtly patterned tile floors, and stainless steel appliances—including a double oven.
Just off the kitchen, you'll find a large laundry and utility room. Two bedrooms, an updated full bath, and a half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a generous family room with beamed vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove is filled with natural light. The spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat, with a beautifully renovated en suite bath showcasing His & Hers vanities, a soaking clawfoot tub, and a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling subway tile and a frameless glass enclosure. A flexible bonus space adjacent to the suite can serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, nursery, or expansive walk-in closet. Enjoy the outdoors from the screened porch overlooking the shaded, fenced backyard with mature trees and a brick paver patio. The attached garage includes convenient access to the laundry room. Seller is offering a one-year America's Preferred Home Warranty for added peace of mind.
