Combining the character of an older Eastern Kentucky home with numerous recent improvements, this property offers a comfortable home in a setting made for outdoor enjoyment.Inside, one of the home's most appealing features is the original hardwood flooring. The floors have been carefully buffed and polished, preserving the warmth and character of the original home. The rear portion of the house has been extensively updated with new drywall, windows, and laminate flooring throughout the kitchen, dining area, and bathroom.The kitchen features new cabinetry and new appliances, while the bathroom has been updated to provide a clean, refreshed space. Other improvements include newly installed mini-split HVAC units for efficient heating and cooling, an instant water heater, and a new septic system.Upstairs, a large unfinished attic provides substantial additional space, with potential to be finished into living space, allowing a future owner to expand the home to fit their needs.One of the property's highlights is the 6' × 33' covered front porch, providing nearly 200 square feet of outdoor space. It's an ideal place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, relax at the end of the day, or take in the surrounding Eastern Kentucky landscape. Deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors, and elk can also be seen in the area during the fall and winter months.The outdoor experience continues along Quicksand Creek, which borders the property and offers opportunities for fishing and kayaking. The creek winds through the surrounding countryside before joining the Kentucky River just a few miles downstream, adding another recreational element to this country setting.The 3 surveyed acres provide room to enjoy the outdoors without the maintenance demands of a large farm. Hwy 30 frontage provides convenient year-round access, while the creek, wildlife, and surrounding landscape give the property a peaceful country feel. An additional benefit is that the residence itself is situated outside the mapped floodplain.Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, recreational retreat, or simply a quiet place to enjoy the mountains, 7869 Hwy 30 East offers a unique combination of original character, recent improvements, expansion potential, acreage, creek frontage, fishing, kayaking, and abundant wildlife.From sitting on the nearly 200-square-foot covered porch watching deer and turkey move through the property to spending an afternoon fishing or paddling Quicksand Creek, this property offers the opportunity to enjoy the Eastern Kentucky outdoor lifestyle right from home.
