11300 Ridge Rd, Anchorage, KY 40223

Nestled within the acclaimed Anchorage School District, a thoughtfully restored residence is a testament to Anchorage's heritage. According to Samuel W. Thomas' book ''The Village of Anchorage'', the homestead that was built in 1879 started as a two-story, three-bay frame house with a hipped roof. Later, in 1929, it was expanded with a third-floor addition based on plans by Nevin & Morgan. Today, this Anchorage Historic Preservation landmark known as the Bedinger House welcomes you with wrought iron gates and stone columns. Within a serene 1.23 acre lot, framed by mature trees and landscaping, stands a home embodying true Anchorage architectural character. Inside, you'll find a haven of understated elegance and comfort, where seven fireplaces, pocket doors, built-ins, nooks, alcoves, balconies, and antique fixtures adorn every room. Spacious formal and informal rooms, a banquet-sized dining room, great ceiling heights and windows give a perfect setting for any type of activity or gathering. A screened in porch with tall ceilings and four sets of French doors that open into the main living spaces invites you to unwind amidst nature's beauty and offers a seamless transition to indoor-outdoor living. Relish the renovated kitchen's warmth, featuring a new center island with soft close drawers, and two built-in but hidden spice racks, a brand-new gas cooktop and a meticulously restored rail car flooring Butcherblock counter by Southern Vintage Louisville reclaimed wood. A wall of windows in the breakfast area overlooks the tranquil wooded lot and inviting pool. A primary suite with kitchenette and private access to the sideyard completes the first floor. On the second level, four bedrooms, including another cozy primary suite and private office, await. The third level of the home offers more bedrooms and a great landing, perfect for a reading area. Outside, a charming pool, outdoor kitchen, and 1/4 basketball court offer delightful entertainment options. With geothermal HVAC, spray foam insulation, and the convenience of an oversized three-car garage, partial finished and unfinished basement, comfort and space are assured year-round. A blend of historic charm and modern amenities, this thoroughly restored 6,600+ sq ft home stands as a beacon to Anchorage's history.
