You’ve found it. This tastefully updated, level-entry home in the established Blairmont neighborhood — located in the Hardin Park School District — is now available. With five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, three living areas, and a beautifully renovated kitchen, this home offers comfort, convenience, flexibility, and the benefit of thoughtful, consistent care. The main level features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a step-down den, a defined dining area, a half bath, and an enviable kitchen that opens to a private rear deck you’ll make your own favorite spot. Access to the two-car garage is also on this level, a true asset for a mountain home. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms that share a full bath, plus a primary suite with an updated bath featuring a tiled shower with full glass doors, double vanity, heated mirrors, and a heated towel rack — thoughtful details you will appreciate. The walk-out basement adds even more opportunity, with a kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and living room. The home offers approximately 2,200 square feet above grade and just over 1,000 finished square feet on the lower level. The sellers have embraced the multigenerational potential of this layout. At one point, a chair lift served the upper level while another family member lived comfortably downstairs — a clear reflection of how well this home adapts to changing needs. Though the chair lift has been removed, the flexibility remains. Just as this family has been committed to one another, that same diligence shows in the care they’ve given this home. The result is a well-maintained property in a prime in-town location that offers many of the practical advantages of a downtown address without the typical trade-offs. Close to Hardin Park School, the hospital campus, Samaritan’s Purse, the university, and local restaurants — all in a choice, established neighborhood setting. I think you are going to like this one.
