Description

Welcome to 689 Graefenburg Road, where a classic Cape Cod sits beside the creek on a quiet stretch of road that used to be US 60, before the highway was rebuilt and moved up the hill. The traffic went with it. What stayed behind is a peaceful country road through Graefenburg, one of Shelby County's oldest settlements, with Waddy, Shelbyville, and Frankfort all an easy drive away. This home has been owned by the same family since the 1970s, and that kind of steady care shows. The big-ticket items...Welcome to 689 Graefenburg Road, where a classic Cape Cod sits beside the creek on a quiet stretch of road that used to be US 60, before the highway was rebuilt and moved up the hill. The traffic went with it. What stayed behind is a peaceful country road through Graefenburg, one of Shelby County's oldest settlements, with Waddy, Shelbyville, and Frankfort all an easy drive away. This home has been owned by the same family since the 1970s, and that kind of steady care shows. The big-ticket items are already done: new roof and siding in 2012, replacement windows in 2015, a new furnace in 2020, and the air conditioner replaced in 2012. The bathroom was updated with a walk-in shower in 2023. A B-Dry waterproofing system protects the basement, so the lower level stays dry and usable year-round. Inside, you get the layout Cape Cods are loved for. The main floor offers about 1,100 square feet with the living room, kitchen, and a bedroom all close at hand. Upstairs, roughly 670 more square feet of dormered space holds two additional bedrooms, with the sloped ceilings and tucked-away corners that give an older home its character. The 1,100-square-foot basement adds room for storage, hobbies, or a workshop and includes a buck stove, and the detached garage keeps the cars and the mower out of the weather. Outside, the creek sets the pace. It's the kind of setting where evenings slow down and the yard has room for a garden, a firepit, or just a chair in the shade. Public water is already in place. Graefenburg sits just west of the Franklin County line, about 12 miles east of downtown Shelbyville and a few minutes from I-64 at the Waddy exit. That puts Frankfort within an easy commute and Louisville or Lexington each under an hour, while you come home to a road where the neighbors still wave. Older homes with this much history, this many updates, and a creek out back are hard to find at this price. Schedule your showing today. Year built is an estimate. Home is located near the creek; buyer to verify flood zone status, and flood insurance may be required by a lender.
