What if you could have the character of a 1916 farmhouse without giving up the space, updates, and convenience you want today? This is one of those homes that offers a little something different and that's exactly what makes it special. Start with the setting. A fenced double lot, an inviting front porch and a park with a fishing lake just across the street. It feels like a step away from the everyday hustle, yet shopping, dining, and expressways are just minutes away. Inside, the home's original hardwood floors, soaring first-floor ceilings, and formal dining room preserve the character that makes a home of this era so appealing. The country kitchen offers a separate butler's pantry and coffee counter, while the adjoining mudroom provides convenient access to the rear yard and patio. And here's where this farmhouse really surprises you. The primary suite features a BRAND NEW luxury bath and a spacious walk-in closet with storage you simply don't expect to find in a home of this age. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor. Need flexibility? The first-floor study has an adjoining full bath, making it an ideal home office, guest suite, or potential fourth bedroom. A full basement provides even more room for storage. Looking for a place to call home? You've found something with genuine character and modern-day comforts. Thinking like an investor? The layout, location, and charm also offer exciting potential for an income-producing Airbnb or VRBO, subject to local regulations. Over a century of character. Thoughtful updates where they matter. And a setting that's hard to duplicate. Come see what makes this one different.
This charming, 1916 farm house is currently being used as an income producing AirBnB. Here is your opportunity to purchase your own investment property or make it your own beautiful residence. Located in the heart of Dry Ridge and convenient to shopping, dining and the Ark Encounter, you will love everything this home has to offer. Enjoy morning coffee on the front porch and your fire pit in the evening. All of this across the street from a gorgeous park and fishing lake.

Public Remarks
Historic charm has been maintained in this home's high ceilings, some hardwoods, tall moldings and expansive stairway. Park like setting for plenty of outdoor fun - fire pit, play set, pergola - on double lot that is FLAT!! Updated throughout with spacious rooms, tasteful colors. Newer AC/natural gas Heat, windows, kitchen flooring. Oversized replacement windows tilt in for easy cleaning. This is definitely a uniquely beautiful home! And did I mention the amazing front porch ? Perfect for sipping coffee or sweet tea under the big shade tree. Price increase reflects new main roof scheduled to be completed late April.
