Enjoy privacy, acreage and convenience with this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home situated on 8.91 surveyed acres just minutes from downtown Morehead, Morehead State University and UK/St. Claire Regional Medical Center. Tucked away from the road with a gravel driveway, the property offers a private mountain-getaway feel while remaining conveniently located just off a state highway. The main level of the home features the kitchen, dining area, living room, primary bedroom and a full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, each with its own balcony, along with a half bath. The lower level adds even more living space with a second living area featuring a wood stove that is used every year, a full bathroom, bonus area and a large laundry/utility room. Outside, a covered deck provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding woods and privacy. The 8.91 surveyed acres are primarily wooded and hillside. The gravel driveway is in good condition but is steep. Buyers should also be aware that while the property has limited level acreage it more than makes up for in privacy and nature. The primary flat area is located immediately at the bottom of the driveway to the left, with an additional small level area near the home at the top. Major updates include a new metal roof installed in 2021 and HVAC replaced in 2022. The wood stove provides supplemental or backup heat and plenty of firewood is already on site. Private enough to feel like a mountain getaway yet convenient enough to be minutes from downtown Morehead, MSU and UK/St. Claire, this property offers nearly nine surveyed acres and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without giving up easy access to town. The seller has called this property home for more than 12 years and is currently in the process of sorting, packing and preparing for the move. Please look beyond the boxes and understand that the home is currently a work zone as the seller gets ready for its next chapter.
