Built in 1895, this beautiful Victorian era home sits on a tree-lined street in the heart of the historic Old Louisville neighborhood. The home's distinctive gray stone facade and semi-circular arched windows are reminiscent of the Romanesque Revival architectural style. In 2011, the kitchen and primary bath were beautifully updated with timeless finishes. The original woodwork, stained glass windows, stunning hardwood floors with beautiful inlay detail, and decorative fireplaces are hallmarks of this Victorian gem. The first floor is an entertainer's dream. The foyer is certain to impress with an immediate view of the home's original staircase , a tiled fireplace, and vibrant stained glass windows. The formal living room offers abundant natural light through the large semi-circular wind window and a decorative fireplace adds to the charm of this
space. A large formal dining room is situated between the living room and the kitchen for ease of entertaining. Chefs will love the size and amenities offered by the large, updated kitchen. The expansive center island provides plenty of space for food preparation and bar seating for more casual dining. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy the sizable wine refrigerator. The well-appointed kitchen also offers a six burner gas range with a
pot filler, double ovens, and a huge pantry closet with floor to ceiling storage space. The back door in the kitchen opens to a large, covered porch that overlooks the privacy-fenced rear yard. This is a wonderful place to unwind after a long day or to dine alfresco. A center walkway off the patio leads to a two car
garage with alley access. Upstairs, the second floor is home to a spectacular primary suite. The primary bedroom features beautiful pine floors, a decorative fireplace, and plenty of space for large furniture. The ensuite primary bath is a show-stopper with a
gorgeous soaking tub, double vanities, a two person marble shower with double shower heads, and a private toilet closet. A huge walk-in closet with custom shelving is a bonus and is rare for a home of this age. Another spacious bedroom, a home office, and another updated full bath can also be found on this level. The third floor has two more roomy and light filled bedrooms, each with its
own fireplace. The statement-making exposed brick in the front bedroom and the full bath give off a rustic radiance, with a hint of nostalgia of centuries past. A storage closet completes the third floor living area. The close proximity of this home to Central Park, farmers market, fine dining, educational institutions, medical centers, museums, the central business district, fabulous restaurants, and major sports venues is a major plus. Home of the
annual St. James Art Show and the largest collection of restored Victorian era homes in the country, Old Louisville is a popular destination.
