Your chance to own one of the few envelope-designed homes in Kentucky! Designed and built by a local Dr. to be energy efficient, this unique double-wall "envelope" system was a popular innovation in its era, creating natural air flow around the home for improved temperature stability, reduced energy loss, and year-round comfort—something rarely found this close to the Daniel Boone National Forest! Sitting on 3.47 surveyed acres, this property offers 4 bedrooms with 4 full bathrooms, plus a possible 5th bedroom in the finished basement—perfect for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. The home features a bright solarium/sunroom that brings in natural light and fresh country views, letting you enjoy sunshine and plant-friendly space all year long. Surrounded by hardwoods, rolling yard space, and peaceful mountain scenery, this secluded retreat feels tucked deep into the hills, yet you're less than 5 minutes from downtown Irvine for dining, shopping, hospital access, and schools. A county-maintained blacktop road leads right to your driveway, and the Daniel Boone National Forest is less than 5 minutes away—a rare opportunity to live this close to thousands of acres of trails, hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventure. Enjoy true country living with modern convenience, including high-speed internet, attached garage entry, and spacious outdoor areas perfect for family fun. All this, and you're only 30 minutes from I-75 and the KY Mountain Parkway, making travel simple while keeping that peaceful small-town feel!
