    Modern updatesShaker-style cabinetryStainless steel appliancesSubway tile backsplashBright open floor planCovered front porchGranite countertops
    Modern updates meet downtown Lexington charm in this beautifully reimagined bungalow, ideally located just moments from the restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife of the North Limestone district. Thoughtfully renovated in 2017, this home offers the character buyers love without the maintenance concerns often associated with older properties. Major improvements included new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, trim work, and interior finishes. The bright, open floor plan creates an inviting space for gathering and everyday living. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home with granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and a large island with seating. Durable luxury vinyl plank flooring extends through the main living spaces, while the bedrooms provide a warm and comfortable retreat. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a private bath highlighted by a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure. A well-appointed guest bath offers a marble vanity, hex tile flooring, and a tiled tub/shower combination. The laundry and mudroom area provides additional storage and organization with built-in shelving, hooks, and bench seating. Outdoor living is equally appealing with a covered front porch and a fenced backyard complete with a deck that's ready for summer cookouts, entertaining guests, or simply unwinding after a long day. Finding a home this updated, this close to downtown amenities, and at this price point is increasingly rare. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or an investment opportunity, this property checks all the boxes. Parking area located in back off of Keller Alley or street parking out front.
