Country charm, cozy gathering spaces, and room to enjoy the outdoors—welcome to 518 Dreyfus Road.
Set on approximately 3.3 acres with mature trees and a picturesque pond, this three-bedroom, one-bath home offers a peaceful country setting conveniently located approximately 15 minutes from both Berea and Richmond and just a few minutes from Kingston.
Built in 1932, the home offers approximately 2,158 square feet of living space and a layout full of character. The primary bedroom is on the main floor, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. A separate dining room provides space for meals and gatherings, while the inviting den features a propane fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and decorative stained-glass windows that give the room a warm, comfortable feel.
A few steps down, the spacious family room offers another gathering area with a brick wood-burning fireplace—a welcoming space for quiet evenings, hobbies, or spending time together.
Covered front and side porches provide places to sit and enjoy the surrounding trees and scenery. Outside, the mostly level acreage, pond, partial fencing, and gravel driveway with ample parking offer room to spread out. A large wooden outbuilding with electricity provides additional storage or workspace and needs repairs.
Recent improvements include a bathroom remodel and replacement of the complete septic system and associated plumbing approximately one year ago. Septic documentation is available.
Additional features include propane furnace heating, public water, a laundry area beside the kitchen, and a small unfinished basement. The home has no central air conditioning; window units are currently used. The refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and washing machine are included unless otherwise agreed. Window air conditioners are excluded unless separately negotiated.
Currently owner-occupied, this older home is offered as-is and needs repairs and cosmetic updates. It offers an opportunity to enjoy country living while making improvements to suit your own style. Buyers are welcome to inspect the home and review available property-condition information.
The seller will remove personal belongings and complete agreed exterior cleanup. Seller requests 30 days of possession after closing under a written agreement.
For sale by owner at $230,000. Contact us for additional information or to schedule a private showing. Showings by appointment.

What the owner loves about this home
What we love most about this home is the balance of peaceful country living and everyday convenience. Mature trees, open outdoor space, and a pond give the approximately 3.3-acre property a relaxing setting, with plenty of room to enjoy the scenery, spend time outside, or cast a line in your own pond.
The covered porches are lovely places to slow down and take in the surroundings. Inside, the cozy den, built-in bookshelves, decorative windows, and two fireplaces give the home a welcoming character. With separate living and gathering spaces, there is room for hobbies, quiet evenings, and sharing meals or time together.
Outdoor recreation is another special part of the location. Nearby Miller Welch–Central Kentucky Wildlife Management Area offers public fishing ponds, hiking, wildlife viewing, and hunting opportunities subject to area regulations.
Berea and Richmond are each approximately 15 minutes away, offering convenient access to shopping, dining, and everyday needs while allowing you to return home to a country setting. The property is within the Madison County school district.
This older home has been enjoyed as a residence and offers an opportunity to make improvements over time. Its character, generous gathering spaces, and mostly open acreage framed by trees provide a setting you can make your own. For us, the pond, privacy, scenery, and convenient location are what make it special.
