Description

If you love all things vintage, this one is for you! From arched doorways to hardwood floors to the charming second-floor laundry chute, this is Historic Morehead living at its finest. Built in 1932, this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick Craftsman has been lovingly cared for and maintained over the years while preserving its original character. Hardwood floors grace the main and upper levels with additional finished flex space in the basement that can be used as a home office, guest room, workout area, hobby space or second living room. Timeless details include built-ins, high ceilings, original heat vent grates, arched doorways, a formal dining room, breakfast nook, butler's pantry and a laundry chute from the second floor to the basement laundry. Two fireplaces add warmth and character, while central heat and air provide modern comfort. Situated on a generous .6-acre lot, this home offers exceptional walkability and is just steps from Morehead State University and an easy stroll to downtown. The HVAC system is approximately 8 years old. Homes with this level of character, craftsmanship and history rarely come available, making this a truly special opportunity to own a piece of Morehead's past while enjoying the conveniences of today.

    "landlords are mostly not pet friendly in my experience, however the city park put in a dog park. we could definitely benefit from more responsible owners, pet friendly rentals, and pet friendly establishments. the local pound doesn't euthanize, which in my opinion is awesome. "

    "I was born and raised here. It is a great community. You can be involved as much or as little as you would like. Our hometown is rich in culture with an emphasis in the arts. There is a lake, Morehead State University, hospital, and many outdoor activity opportunities. It is a little lacking in the just out of college age group, as we definitely need more restaurants and activities for date nights. However, Lexington, KY and Huntington, WV are just an hour away, with an easy drive on I-64. The only reason it did not get an excellent rating, is because there is always room for improvement. Maybe your relocation to our area is the improvement we need. HAPPY HOUSE HUNTING!!!"
