Welcome to 2878 Penns Chapel Road — where you get the peace and privacy of the countryside without giving up quick access to everything Bowling Green has to offer. Sitting on 8 beautiful acres just outside town, this fully remodeled ranch-style stone home delivers the space, updates, and flexibility buyers are always hunting for. Renovated top to bottom in 2024, the main house features fresh paint throughout, updated flooring, new appliances, a brand-new roof, and completely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. It’s clean, sharp, and move-in ready! Out back, you’ll find a detached living space that adds serious versatility. Whether you need a private guest suite, home office, rental potential, or the perfect setup for extended family, this additional space includes its own mini-split system for heating and cooling, plus a microwave and refrigerator. A separate space with separate comfort & endless options. The land itself is the real bonus. Eight acres give you room to spread out, start a hobby farm, ride, explore, or just enjoy the quiet. A barn adds functional storage or livestock potential, and the on-site storm cellar offers extra peace of mind when Kentucky weather rolls through. If you’ve been looking for updated, functional, and flexible — with acreage — this one checks boxes most properties can’t.
