Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is over a century and a half old and packed with history, nestled in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky. Seamlessly blending the modern with the traditional, you'll be able to enjoy a barbecue in the private back garden while your playlist serenades you on the sound system, or gather around the dining table to play one of the many board games on offer. We love the sunroom with its daybed that's perfect for lounging on with a mug of coffee and a good book, as well as accommodating a child as an additional sleeping area. Come evening, roast marshmallows around the wood-burning firepit in the back garden as the sun goes down, or snuggle up together on the sofa for a movie night. Due to the fantastic location of this home, you'll find yourself within walking distance of attractions and amenities like Louisville's waterfront part and the Lynn Family Stadium, and you'll only be a short drive from Downtown. You'll be just out of the centre of everything, so you won't have to worry about crowds but you'll still be able to reach all the main sights. Take a trip to the Waterfront Botanical Gardens and appreciate the lush... greenery or head to one of the nearby taverns or breweries. For those wanting a little more culture, there are galleries and museums within your reach, as well as plenty for the kids to do. Whatever you're searching for in Kentucky, you'll find it within your grasp with this beautiful home as your base.

About Kentucky
For some, it’s hard to say the name Kentucky without adding bourbon to the end. This strong, amber adult beverage is definitely one of the state of Kentucky’s ultimate claims to fame. In fact, Kentucky provides the world with 95% of its bourbon. You can even buy a pass to taste some of the best bourbons throughout the state. But if you only came for the drinks, you should stay...
