Property Description

Beautiful original woodwork, exposed brick, abundant natural light, and some of the best outdoor living spaces you'll find in Old Louisville. This corner home combines remarkable historic character with substantial improvements made over the past decade. Large windows fill the house with natural light, while distinctive round windows, third-floor skylights, and original unpainted woodwork add character throughout. Both the first and second floors have connected layouts that make moving between rooms easy, whether you're entertaining or enjoying everyday life. The outdoor spaces are particularly special. A historic iron fence frames the front yard, while a private brick-enclosed courtyard creates a quiet garden setting. There's also a covered back porch for gatherings and a rooftop deck where you can relax and occasionally catch downtown fireworks. A dedicated off-street parking space behind the home includes an EV charger. The third floor offers flexible space for guests, a home office, hobbies, or whatever comes next. The owners have invested extensively in preserving and improving the property. All windows have been replaced, eliminating the need for historic preservation approval for future window replacements. The distinctive corner princess window was carefully rebuilt using traditional restoration methods, preserving this architectural feature for generations to come. Other improvements include a new roof, remodeled primary bathroom, updated electrical panel, extensive masonry work, rebuilt back porch components, new gutters, restored exterior woodwork, renewed rooftop deck, and a new third-floor HVAC system in 2026. Another significant benefit of owning a contributing historic property is access to historic rehabilitation tax credits of up to 30% on qualifying future improvements, helping offset the cost of preserving and improving the home. And the location is hard to beat. Enjoy Old Louisville's architecture, parks, neighborhood restaurants, and breweries, with downtown and major highways just minutes away. Historic character, thoughtful improvements, exceptional outdoor spaces, and the financial advantages of historic preservation, all in one remarkable home.
