329 Comanche Road - where classic brick architecture, generous space, and easy living come together in one of Shelbyville's most desirable neighborhoods: Town N Country. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot, this all-brick 3 bedroom, 3 bath home offers impressive style and flexibility. Much of the interior has just been painted in a fresh, neutral palette, and several new light fixtures give the home an updated, move-in-ready feel from the moment you walk in. You're welcomed by a formal entry with gleaming hardwood floors. To the left, the living room feels bright and airy with its vaulted ceiling and striking palladium window overlooking the manicured front yard. The living room flows directly into the formal dining room—also with hardwood floors—creating a great setup for gatherings, holidays, or quiet dinners at home. The kitchen is built for real life and real cooking: generous cabinet space, sizeable pantry, granite countertops, travertine backsplash, center island, eat-in area, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and ceramic tile floors. A large bay window overlooks the beautifully landscaped back yard and fills the space with natural light, making it a comfortable spot for everyday meals. Just off the kitchen is a spacious family room that manages to feel both polished and relaxed. It features a tray ceiling, built-in bookcases, wainscoting, and a brick fireplace with gas logs. The hardwood floors continue from this room into the hallway and primary suite, adding warmth and continuity to the main level.

It's easy to picture rolling over for a weekend round of golf, grabbing burgers at the club grill, or spending a sunny afternoon by the pool. Early riser? Enjoy a peaceful walk along the course before golfers head out or cast a line from the bridge. Whether you're a frequent golfer, an occasional swimmer, or just someone who likes having those options close by, having a beautiful course, pool, and grill in your orbit is a major perk of this address. 329 Comanche Road delivers a spacious, all-brick home with a finished lower level, fresh neutral decor, thoughtful updates, and a prime Town N Country location—with the added advantage of country club amenities just around the corner when you want them.
