Just under a mile from the Winchester square, 1101 N High St is 1,292 square feet of character with a lot of updates. The living room is the showpiece, with a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, warm wood accent walls, recessed lighting and a brick fireplace as its centerpiece. Big windows bring in light throughout, and dark wood-look floors run through the main living areas. The kitchen opens to the dining space and has white cabinetry, light stone-look counters, a wood-front peninsula with seating, a gas range and tile floors. There's a separate laundry room with its own door to the backyard, plus built-in shelving for pantry storage. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and good closet space, and the bath has a subway-tile tub and shower. For storage, there's walk-up stair access to the attic and a basement below. Outside, the covered front porch has a wood ceiling and a swing. The back has a large privacy-fenced yard, a patio and a long gravel drive. It's a quick drive to shops and restaurants downtown and close to the lake for weekends on the water.
