Description
Perched on an elevated lot at the corner of Brook and Oak Streets in the picturesque Old Louisville neighborhood, this lovely Sears & Roebuck home perfectly combines the vintage charm so associated with our city's largest Victorian neighborhood with modern touches sure to please today's homebuyer. If one can tear themselves away from the shaded and covered charming front porch to step inside, the formal foyer will be sure to please. Original millwork, built-in window seating, and room for formal entry furniture assure a welcome entry for owners and guests alike. To the left, the living room overlooks the front yard via double front windows, and an original marble-front fireplace creates a beautiful focal point. The dining room is just beyond, and boasts many special features; beamed ceiling, original built-in storage, and triple window above remind us of the exceptionality of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, while recently built-in cabinetry with bottle storage and beverage fridge mean relevancy in how today's public entertains. Original French doors here open to a privately-accessible raised deck for taking entertaining outdoors. The kitchen was reimagined by a previous owner, and now features dual-color custom cabinetry, wall oven, Wolf range, and raised breakfast bar. A powder room is accessible from here, and the hidden laundry closet is found within that space. Upstairs, the primary suite is quietly located at the rear of the home. The ensuite bathroom here was just renovated, and features a statement tile step-in shower with natural light and a wide vanity with LED mirror. The large, double-door closet assures storage for the new owners' wardrobe, and a private deck just off of this room imagines quiet morning coffee among the treetops. Two other bedrooms on this level have mini-splits for the utmost comfort, and a nicely-appointed full hall bath assures comfort and privacy regardless of household size. As if these spaces weren't enough, a partially finished basement as well as an unfinished 3rd floor walk-up attic space provide opportunity to expand into the future, while a low-maintenance, fully-fenced rear yard provides the perfect space for lounging and entertaining in the present. With a location close to area college campuses, downtown's bustling medical scene, and easy access to I-65 and spaghetti junction, for those craving a home that best shows off the special character and architectural relevance of Historic Old Louisville, this one definitely punches the ticket!
