Description

Welcome to your dream spot in the heart of Historic Old Louisville in The Alexander—an historic apartment building originally built in 1902 that was renovated and converted to condominiums circa 2008. Nestled along a picturesque tree-lined block of S. 3rd St, this first-floor condo offers nearly 1,200 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a bonus office/garden-room, in-unit laundry, a dedicated/private entrance, hardwood flooring and detailed millwork.
From the common area courtyard, enter the captivating foyer via a secure entry door with sidelights and be greeted by decorative historic tiled floors, marble stairs and accents, and large brass railings. Straight ahead open the unit’s convenient main floor entry door to beautiful oak floors that run throughout the unit, and 9.5 foot ceilings. Take the hallway past a guest half bath with tiled floors and beadboard, into a spacious living room adorned with an intriguing coffered ceiling, large picture windows that overlook the back common area complete with cozy bench seating, and built-in bookshelves. Pass through the adjacent dining area, bathed in natural light to a beautifully appointed kitchen.
The galley style kitchen includes white cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops, a tumbled subway tile backsplash, double-basin undermounted sink, and stainless-steel Frigidaire appliances. Down the hall, the full bathroom awaits, complete with a tub/shower adorned with travertine tiled walls, 18-inch floor tiles, and a single vanity. Outside the bathroom is a closet with removable shelving for additional clothing storage, if needed, and the convenient in-unit stackable washer/dryer unit is tucked neatly behind an adjacent hall door.
The two bedrooms offer tranquility and comfort, along with new ceiling fans. The spacious primary bedroom boasts a double door closet, tray ceiling, and large windows. Off the primary bedroom is a sun-drenched bonus room, perfect for an in-home office or garden-room, with exposed brick walls, built-in shelving alcove, and a private rear entrance.
Recent upgrades include fresh paint, a brand new AC and furnace installed in July 2025, new water heater (2024), custom storm windows AND screens, and stylish roman shade window treatments throughout.
