Property Description

Designed by renowned Kentucky architect Stratton Hammon, this Cherokee Gardens home, built with hand-hewn stones from an early 1800's Blackacre estate house in eastern Jefferson County, features Hammon's acclaimed design and millwork and offers the opportunity to own a unique piece of Louisville's rich architectural history. Well maintained, this timeless two-story home features hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and classic millwork, in addition to owner improvements from custom bookcases and window treatments throughout the house to tree-lined brick retaining walls in the backyard. Passing a columned covered porch with barrel vaulted entry, guests enter a spacious foyer with leaded glass sidelights and rounded transom, and Anaglypta wall coverings that continue up a beautifully detailed staircase to the second floor. An elegant formal dining room with bright windows, crown molding, and original ceiling medallion sits to the left of the foyer. To the right sits a handsome living room running the length of the house. Featuring restored and custom built-in bookshelves, gas fireplace, and picture window overlooking the gardens, the living room invites guests further into the home and flows seamlessly through dual openings into the adjacent family room, offering an effortless layout for hosting gatherings both large and intimate. The first floor continues with a sizable breakfast room - with bi-fold door, and an elegant powder room, before opening to the home's kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and dry bar shared with the formal dining room. The second floor, accessible by both the main and kitchen staircases, features an exceptional master suite with spacious bedroom with sitting area, gas fireplace and ample closet storage, as well as a master bathroom with soaking tub, glass shower and his-and- her vanities. The second floor is completed by two sizable bedrooms with a shared hall bath, and a laundry closet. With an attic ready to be finished and a lower level featuring over 1,300 additional unfinished square feet, this home offers extensive storage space. Offering a treed backyard with private patio - including red brick cobblestones from the historic streets of Chicago, traditional pea gravel driveway, two-car garage with hand-hewn stone flawlessly matching the house and custom gates with partially ivied lattice for additional parking, the home's exterior matches the charm of its interior.
