The curb appeal of this outstanding 1898 Century Home in the Garden District of Berea oozes with charm as it shows off its new roof, windows, and lovely landscaping. On the main level is a large, bright and airy kitchen with loads of cabinets & counterspace, a stainless steel built-in oven and microwave, a cooktop range and refrigerator, and a desk area for the cook or study area. The kitchen is central to both the living room and family room and there is a half bath and large laundry area with loads of cabinet space near the rear entrance. Also on the first level is the master with a walk-in closet and a large master bath with dual vanity sinks, a garden tub and a beautiful shower area with floor to ceiling marbled tile. Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and another full bath with a dual vanity and walk in shower. The upgrades are numerous as tens of thousands of dollars were spent in the last 3 years, including the following: Smart Home capabilities with HVAC ducts/zoning including Nest thermostats, Nest Protects and Nest Temp sensors in each room, Nest/Google Mesh Wifi, and Google Doorbell cams. In 2022, the roof, gutters, basement wall reinforcement, electrical (all new plugs and switches throughout), stove/vent hood and oven in December 2022 and the dishwasher (all new appliances have smart technologies) were added/completed. In 2023, the following upgrades included: Smart washer/dryer, sump pump, whole house generator, dual zone HVAC upgrade with blower assisted fans, basement waterproofing and the addition of a support bean in the basement under the family room addition. In 2024, the fence was added as well as full crawl space blown insulation and water seal. There is a gas fireplace in the family room & a huge deck at the rear of the home. The 13 course basement can be used as additional living space and there is a 2 car garage. This is truly a special home with modern conveniences, a little retro/modern decor and still the historic feel.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
