2436 Broadmeade Rd, Louisville, KY 40205 | MLS# 1712512

Description

Some homes have history. This one has a story. When 2436 Broadmeade was built in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald was putting the final pages on The Great Gatsby. A century later, this Seneca Gardens Craftsman has been so thoroughly and thoughtfully restored that it feels less like a renovation and more like a reawakening. The bones that were worth saving have been saved. Everything else has been rebuilt. The designer kitchen is the heart of the home and it earns the title. A professional gas range, wall oven, and custom pull-out cabinetry work together the way a serious cook expects, while Pottery Barn lighting and restored quartersawn oak floors give the space a warmth that no new construction can manufacture. Those floors run throughout the entire home, glowing the same amber they did a hundred years ago, just refinished and ready for the next chapter. The primary suite is a genuine retreat. Spacious, quiet, and thoughtfully finished, with a walk-in closet large enough to add a washer and dryer if you want laundry where it belongs. Three additional bedrooms, three full and two half baths, and a rare third-floor bonus room that opens up every possibility: home office, studio, playroom, guest suite. The quarter-acre lot is one of the best arguments for this address. Fully fenced, private, and large enough for a pool and pool house. In a neighborhood where outdoor space is precious, this yard is a genuine opportunity. Behind every restored detail, the infrastructure is entirely new. Dual HVAC systems, fresh insulation, and new windows throughout make this among the most energy-efficient homes in Seneca Gardens. The character is 1925. The comfort is 2026. And then there is the neighborhood itself. Seneca Gardens sits at the boundary of Louisville’s celebrated Olmsted park system, and this home sits at the very edge of Seneca Gardens. The golf course is a golf cart ride away. Cherokee’s Big Rock and the connected Seneca and Cherokee Scenic Loops are a walk through the trees. Louisville takes its Olmsted parks seriously. There is no better seat in the house.
