Positioned along Louisville's early Parkway system, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1890s, this home offers both rich history and contemporary comfort. It is just a short ride or walk to Iroquois Park, its amphitheater, and golf course, and is conveniently located near the Watterson Expressway, the University of Louisville, and Churchill Downs. Within walking distance of charming coffee shops, cafés, a bookstore, a barbershop, and restaurants, this home provides the perfect balance of historic beauty and modern convenience.

A large front porch welcomes you into the home, perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or socializing with neighbors. The home's original character has been carefully preserved, while key spaces such as the kitchen, bathrooms, and custom-built walk-in closet with laundry have been thoughtfully renovated to meet contemporary needs. This home features 10.5-foot ceilings and large windows that allow abundant natural light, as well as original hardwood floors and pocket doors throughout.
