1262 Bassett Ave

Description

Welcome to the newest ''old'' house on Bassett Avenue, one of the most desirable locations in the Cherokee Triangle. A neighbor's fire in 2016 spilled over to this home resulting in a virtually complete interior rebuild in 2016/2017. The original pine floors remain, mill work was reproduced to match exactly what had been there, all the plaster was replaced with drywall, all new electrical, plumbing, roof and HVAC systems were installed. During the process the third floor was expanded and another full bath was roughed in. Also, a fair amount of the exterior wood siding was replaced with matching cement board. For good measure, the two-car garage has also been restored to like-new condition. The foyer is once again a grand entrance showing off the historic staircase. To the left is the formal living room connecting to the dining room with a bay window and a working fireplace. A center hall provides access to the half bath, back and basement stairs plus the kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances and a large pantry. Off the kitchen is a spacious screened porch that opens onto a large deck. That leads down to a patio and a spacious, flat yard. Three bedrooms on the second floor include a primary suite with en-suite bath and large closet. There's also a jumbo laundry room and another full bathroom. The third floor is fully carpeted, light-filled and spacious, perfect for another bedroom or family room. Located between Cave Hill, Cherokee Park and Bardstown Road, you couldn't ask for a better location.
