Description

Welcome to a beautifully updated home in the heart of Louisville’s sought-after Germantown neighborhood. Blending historic character with modern comfort, this versatile property has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, offering endless possibilities for living, working, or investing.
Step inside to find freshly refinished hardwood floors, new carpet and padding, and abundant natural light pouring through skylights and transoms. The newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom feature stylish finishes, new fixtures, and a fresh contemporary look, while new vinyl siding, updated lighting, and fresh paint inside and out provide true move-in readiness.
With five spacious bedrooms (including a waterproofed walkout basement) and two bathrooms, this home is perfect. The large eat-in kitchen comes fully equipped with a gas stove, dishwasher, and oversized refrigerator, while the included washer and dryer add convenience.

Enjoy outdoor living at its best with two brand-new decks: a large second-story deck overlooking the backyard perfect for entertaining and a charming front deck/porch for welcoming guests.

Outside, enjoy a generous private parking area and a massive detached garage with electricity ideal for storage, hobbies, or future conversion. Zoned for both residential and office use, the property also offers unique potential: create your dream live/work setup or explore the option of converting into multiple short-term rentals.
All this, just minutes from UofL, downtown, the Highlands, and some of Louisville’s best dining, shopping, and nightlife. Whether you’re seeking a cozy, updated home or a smart investment, this Germantown gem delivers.
