Welcome to this circa 1890’s Italianate solid brick shotgun in the Limerick area of Old Louisville’s Historic district. There is currently a property tax moratorium on this home that will hold the property assessment at $173,910 for tax purposes until the end of 2028. A great savings. This home has been lovingly renovated and restored by an Old Louisville pro to keep all the charm and character of years gone by while combining all the conveniences of the 21st Century. This amazing 1-story home has 1437 Sq. Ft. on the 1st floor and a beautiful formal living room w/gas fireplace & shutters on the front windows, a nice dining room off the kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a deluxe full bath with walk-in shower w/marble like floors, a vintage vanity with Corian top, black & white tile flooring & built-in shelving.

There is also a hall closet with shelving and laundry hook-ups for stack or full-size washer/dryer on the 1st floor. Just wait, the seller also has created additional space (approximately 500 Sq. Ft.) in the basement which you can enter from interior staircase (very wide staircase lined with storage shelving) or you can enter from an architectural brick staircase from the rear yard/patio. A large room with epoxy concrete floors offers a 2nd laundry area (GE front load washer/dryer) a mini-kitchen with double sink, whirlpool double door refrigerator (for extra fridge space) and a dishwasher. This area also has a large work area with a worktable and lots of shelving for storage. The back room is spacious and configurated with a shower, sink & commode that’s perfect to run into to clean up after working in the back yard/gardens. Both lower-level rooms have auxiliary heat. You will love the full privacy fenced rear yard with brick walkway & patio along with a separately fenced compost/garden area. A spectacular custom 2 car garage (24′ x 26′) was added in 2024 to provide secure parking and total privacy from the rear alley. This garage/workshop is thoroughly insulated and drywalled, a Stiebel Eltron electric heater was installed, excellent overhead lighting, a ceiling fan, workbench with double garden sink with instant hot water. The lot is approximately 28′ wide and 200′ deep. The renovation included new insulation and drywall, updated electrical system, PEX water lines and PVC wastelines and storm windows. There is a pump-up station for the lower-level bath area and a sump pump as well. This is truly a “move in ready home”. Old Louisville offers Olmsted’s Central Park with tennis courts, a children’s playground and large splash pad along with the Information Center & outdoor amphitheater where you can enjoy “Shakespeare in the Park” and live concerts throughout the summer months. Also, you can enjoy the Saint James Court Art Show, the Holiday Home Tour & The Old Louisville Hidden Garden tour. Lots to do with great neighborhood camaraderie and located close to downtown, all major interstates and the International Airport.
