About 1916 S Preston St
Snap up this affordable shotgun before the U of L students come back for fall semester! The home has lots of character and charm with original trimwork and mantles. Current owner has refinished the pretty yellow pine floors, replaced front and side doors. Perfect for first time home buyers or investors. Great natural light throughout from the replacement windows. Previous owner updated the HVAC in 2019, water heater in 2017 and roof in 2012. The front room has been used as a bedroom with the side door being used for an entry door. Small room off the hallway has been used as a bedroom but does not have an egress window and would make a great office. Huge storage shed in flat backyard with off-street parking for one car. Across the street from Preston Park and close to U of L, Nord's Bakery, Zbar, and Sunergos Coffee. Lots of fresh paint nice and clean, move right in. All appliances remain including washer and dryer. Check out the TikTok walk through in the video section.
