Magnificent 3-Story Brick Italianate with Grand Façade & Southern Porch

One of Old Louisville’s best hidden treasures on South 6th St. (just one block from Olmsted’s Central Park) lies this magnificent 3-story solid brick Italianate nestled back off the street with its grand façade & full covered Southern front porch. This iconic piece of architecture was completely restored & renovated by an expert in 2010 with attention to detail in every space of this amazing Victorian home that offers 5158 Sq. Ft. of incredibly & consciously designed living spaces to incorporate today’s modern living while retaining all the original architectural elements. A true piece of art, from the inlaid fleur-dis-lis embellishing the hardwood flooring in the foyer, to the arched doorways, exquisite fireplace mantels, original millwork, exposed brick accents & soaring ceilings. This expansive home offers 5 generous bedrooms along with 4 full and 1 half baths, a grand entry foyer, formal living with built-ins flanking fireplace, a formal dining room with bay window, a modern gourmet eat-in kitchen with island and breakfast bar opening to a sitting room. Behind the kitchen you will find a walk-in pantry, a custom-built wine closet (approximately 300 bottle storage) and a large laundry room with sink along with a butler’s pantry with wet bar and additional refrigerator. The rear door leads out to a wonderful, screened porch for outdoor enjoyment. On the 2nd floor you will find 2 generous bedrooms with a hall bath that offers exposed brick and a tub/shower combination along with the incredible & spacious primary suite with private office/library/TV room which opens to a deck overlooking the grounds. The show stopping primary bath with gorgeous tile work, a 6’ soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity & 2 walk-in closets will certainly wow you. Up on the 3rd floor you will find 2 additional bedrooms and another full bath with tile shower. At the rear of the 3rd floor, you will find a huge family/theatre room with a mini fridge, kegerator, ice maker and wet bar along with another full bath with tub/shower combination. This area could make a secondary primary suite if needed. There are custom window blinds (many Hunter Douglas) throughout this home. This home is neat as a pin and ready to move right in!
