Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Crescent Hill history! Built in 1905, this classic 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath American Foursquare is ideally situated along one of Louisville's most picturesque park-like boulevards, where a beautifully maintained greenspace lined with mature trees, walking paths, benches, and gathering areas creates a setting unlike any other in the city. Step onto the welcoming covered front porch and into a home filled with timeless character, including original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, pocket doors, intricate millwork, built-in bookcases, and a stunning decorative fireplace. The grand staircase and oversized rooms showcase the craftsmanship and architectural details that make historic homes so special. The spacious living and dining rooms provide the perfect setting for entertaining, while the kitchen offers ample cabinet and counter space. Additional flex space at the rear of the home can serve as a family room, home office, playroom, or creative studio. Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, while a convenient half bath is located on the main level. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the tree-lined boulevard or take advantage of the expansive shared greenspace just steps from your front door. This unique park setting offers a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from Frankfort Avenue's restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, parks, and neighborhood events. Whether you're looking to restore a historic gem or simply appreciate the charm and character of early 20th-century architecture, this Crescent Hill treasure is ready for its next chapter.
