Description

Welcome to the heart of historic Smoketown, where timeless character meets modern convenience in one of Louisville’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. Built in 1905, this stately two-story home offers over 2,300 square feet of living space and showcases the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era, all just steps from Shelby Park and minutes from some of the city’s most iconic destinations. From the moment you enter, you’ll appreciate the soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and classic architectural details that give this home its distinctive presence. Two decorative fireplaces add to the historic ambiance, while the double-thick foundation walls speak to the enduring quality of its construction. The home features three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing ample space for comfortable living. An additional 450 square feet of finished attic space offers incredible flexibility—perfect for a private home office, creative studio, or additional living area. Previously configured as a duplex, the property still retains the potential for conversion, making it an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers seeking multi-generational living options. Thoughtfully updated, the home includes fresh paint throughout, new carpet, and durable LVP flooring in the kitchen and laundry areas. The bathrooms have been updated, and major systems have been addressed with a newer HVAC system, a water heater from 2016, and a new roof installed in 2022, offering peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to enjoy a private backyard with rare off-street parking, an exceptional feature in this historic area. The location is truly unbeatable, placing you just moments from Logan Street Market, NuLu’s vibrant shopping and dining scene, the Highlands, Waterfront Park, Lynn Family Stadium, and Slugger Field. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Louisville history with modern updates, flexible living options, and an unbeatable urban lifestyle.
