Experience the pinnacle of historic restoration at 124 E 8th St. This rare, Charleston-style two-story brick masterpiece near Brescia University perfectly marries 1930s grandeur with meticulously updated modern systems. The commanding facade is defined by iconic two-story porches with original solid wood columns, professionally illuminated by an award-winning lighting firm to create stunning nighttime curb appeal. Inside, the craftsmanship is unmatched, featuring a rare Gum wood stairway and exquisite Gum trim throughout the first floor. The classic-styled living room, anchored by a fireplace with a stunning Gum mantle, flows into a formal dining room and a charming breakfast room boasting an original built-in China cabinet. The chef’s kitchen shines with sleek quartz countertops, while the main level also offers a flexible fourth bedroom—ideal for a den or home office. The generous owner’s suite is a true retreat, featuring its own private fireplace, a dedicated dressing room, and an en-suite bath with granite finishes. Modern comforts abound with new interior and exterior paint (2025), a tiled first-floor bath with original flooring, and a second-floor tiled bath. Practicality meets luxury with a tiled basement featuring an exterior entry. A permanent stairway leads to a massive attic with newly blown-in insulation (March 2025). From the courtyard to the character-filled interior, this move-in-ready historic treasure is a rare opportunity for the most discerning buyer. Seller is a licensed Realtor in Kentucky.
