At this remarkable residence, timeless elegance meets modern luxury in the heart of Cherokee Triangle! Nestled beneath the graceful canopy of a 120-year-old Olmsted oak, this meticulously restored three-story classic blends historic charm with today's design. Located just two blocks from Willow and Cherokee Parks, and all the amenities of Bardstown Road, this exceptional residence sits proudly in the heart of Cherokee Triangle, offering an unparalleled lifestyle surrounded by nature, history, and the vibrancy of the Highlands community. A sweeping walkway framed by lush and flowering landscaping leads to the inviting covered front porch--a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Step inside to a grand foyer featuring original gleaming hardwood floors, stunning fireplace with mantel, and an elegant staircase that sets the tone for the home's timeless finishes and beauty. The living room, bathed in natural light from a large window, boasts another fireplace with mantel, creating a cozy, yet sophisticated gathering space. Restored pocket doors reveal the dining room, now seamlessly open to the kitchen after a thoughtful renovation that removed dividing walls. Here, a charming built-in window seat adds character, while a third fireplace anchors the room in warmth and history. The chef's kitchen is a perfect blend of classic and modern finishes, featuring abundant white cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, a butcher block-topped center island, and a premium stainless steel appliance package. While the induction cooktop is the latest craze, there is a convenient gas line available for gas cooktop! Architectural windows provide serene views of the backyard, making meal prep a joy every day. A charming powder room, tucked neatly beneath the grand staircase, completes the main level. The second floor is a retreat, offering a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath, complete with and double bowl and center dressing vanity finished in quartz, oversized glass-enclosed standing shower, herringbone marble flooring and wallpaper mural. A generous walk-in closet/dressing room with custom built-ins ensures ample storage, and there is access to a private deck overlooking the rear lawn. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully renovated bathroom, complete with a tub-shower combo with subway tile, vanity with quartz countertop and timeless basketweave tile. A rare find, the oversized laundry room on this level provides ample workspace with granite folding counter, utility sink, built-in drying station, and front load washer and dryer, all finished in classic hex tile flooring. The third level adds more flexibility, offering two additional bedrooms--ideal for guests, home office or creative spaces--both sharing a stylishly updated bathroom with oversized vanity with quartz countertop, tub/shower combo with subway tile and classic hex tile flooring. The charm of this historic residence extends far beyond its beautifully restored interior, offering thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces perfect for relaxing, entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Step out the main level onto a covered rear deck where warm Edison string lights create an inviting ambiance for evening gatherings or quiet moments for a book and coffee. This elevated outdoor space flows effortlessly into the brick paver style patio and lush rear lawn, offering plenty of room for play and gardening. A carefully crafted walkway continues from the patio and guides you through the fenced backyard to the recently constructed oversized two-car garage, which not only provides ample parking and storage, but is also equipped with EV charging outlet. Other notable upgrades during this extensive restoration include all new geothermal HVAC system (serving the first and second floor), a new heat pump and air compressor (serving third floor), natural gas furnace (backs up the geothermal of 1st & 2nd floor), entirely new ductwork throughout the house, HVAC control board all new PEX plumbing throughout the home, new 70 gallon gas powered hot water heater with recirculating pump, Delta plumbing fixtures throughout, all new electrical system, including wiring, main panel (basement), sub panel (laundry room), outlets, recessed LED lighting throughout, ceiling fans, and hard-wired smoke detectors.
