BACK ON MARKET thru NO FAULT OF THE HOUSE! Buyers financing fell through! Nestled on a quiet block on South 1st Street in historic Old Louisville, this gracious home is a ''sister house'' with the property to it's left built by a father for his two daughters in the late 1800's. It is a lovely and beautiful example of a High Victorian or as some would call a Victorian Eclectic. Significant square footage make this an amazing family home but the cordial sociable timeless feel of the home harkens back to a much more elegant time in our history. A front porch spanning the entire width of the house welcomes you to sip sweet tea on the swing and chat with neighbors...enter the home to a Christmas Tree foyer (it's not too far off, you know) and a kitty-corner fireplace that's sure to please to the Living Room with a decorative fireplace holds your largest furniture! And, oh, that "fairylight" chandelier is just marvelous! The Formal Dining Room with yet another decorative fireplace will proudly host your family for the holidays, a romantic dinner for two or a Derby Party for the whole block! The half bath is a jewel of delight! You will love it's unexpected character, furniture vanity and deep teal paint! The Kitchen is the heart of the home with it's comfy banquette (currently used for home school & homework plus some crafts!), its tall breakfast island and oodles of warm wood cabinetry with uber-fashionable tin backsplash! The glamorous BLACK STAINLESS appliances remain with the home. There's also a pantry for your staples! Wander outside to a fabulous hearth & pavilion...our Sellers just finished this outside mecca and now they're leaving! It's just amazing with it's ability to take the party, the movie or just a drink to end the day outside...it will be PERFECTION for those upcoming cool summer & fall evenings! Please note that the multi-color lights & patterned tin lanterns do not convey. Climb the very unique "plumbers fit" stairwell to the 2nd floor where you'll find three very generous bedrooms (including the Primary Bedroom), the Laundry and the area's coolest bathroom...it's got a jetted tub that will make you feel like royalty, a standing shower, a double vanity and a "private" toilet area...yep - it's cool. The 3rd floor is a haven for a teenager or an in-law...or just anyone who wants their private space - it's right here! You'll find a nice-sized bedroom with a big walk-in closet, a full bath with standing shower & pedestal sink and some lounge space (currently used by the Seller's son for his newest video game!). There's also a finished attic space (counted as "non-conforming") that is being used as storage. The house also boasts a new AC unit in Spring 2021, a new furnace in 2014 and the zone HVAC system replaced in 2013. Chimneys were tucked and pointed in 2019. As an added bonus, there is off-street parking available behind the outdoor pavilion for 2 cars-plenty of space to build a garage (with proper permits, of course)...What's not to LOVE? Showings are very specific due to the owners work schedule.
