1129 Cherokee Rd, Louisville, KY 40204

Public Remarks: This impeccably restored, updated, and maintained Cherokee Triangle home is stunning and inviting with its large rooms and outdoor living spaces. The wide front porch and balcony lend themselves to neighborly gatherings while the totally enclosed private courtyard is a professionally landscaped retreat. Once you enter the front doors you will begin to notice the attention to detail that is so often lost when older homes undergo renovation. Expert craftspeople were brought to town to refinish what floors and moldings were original and then trim was painstakingly recreated and the result is a gorgeous home with loads of historic character: high ceilings, handmade custom millwork, hardwood floors, and large windows. Things you don't see (hvac, electrical, plumbing, Cat5) have all been updated as well. The formal living room has an original coal burning fireplace and the formal dining room has room for large gatherings. The family room has a wall of built-in cabinets and bookcases and a walk-in closet. This room also has a full bath so it can function as a bedroom if desired. Chefs will enjoy the Thermodor 5 burner gas cooktop, the Sub Zero, the Asko dishwasher, and all the GE Monogram appliances in the well-planned kitchen. The second floor has three bedrooms and a timeless black and white marble hall bath. Laundry is conveniently located on the bedroom level in a handy kitchenette that provides access to a lovely, shaded deck. The third floor provides a private spot for a home office but is another flexible space with a nice closet and good light. This home also has an expansive one-bedroom apartment in the carriage house. The heated and cooled four-car garage is a car enthusiast's dream come true with all the bells and whistles including thoughtfully located drains, hot water and air compressor hookups, tool storage, a utility sink and plenty of room for decor and display. You can live on the same street where Jay Gatsby first fell in love with Daisy!
