Listing agent Richelle Tilghman of Dave Perry-Miller InTown just put this adorable 1957 farmhouse back on the market after a potential buyer got cold feet, but we’ll tell you — lighting won’t strike twice. It’s a “splurge” that’s not even a splurge, really. This is a rare 5-bedroom in Walnut Hills with 2,377 square feet on more than a quarter-acre lot. From the listing: “Stunning hardwood floors throughout. Large living dining area has a floor-to-ceiling picture window. The den has charming built-ins and brick fireplace. Large backyard & attached deck are perfect for entertaining. Farmhouse kitchen has plenty of storage and opens to the den and breakfast nook. Pantry, mudroom, and a sunny laundry room are just off the kitchen. Private guest or mother-in-law suite has built-ins and is separate from the other four bedrooms, which include another en suite.”
