Public Remarks: Luxury Living in Cherokee Triangle. Make yourself at home with the most iconic address in town! 1220 Cherokee Road highlights the very best that Louisville has to offer. The walkable restaurants and shops on Bardstown Road will keep you social while the beautiful trails of nearby Cherokee Park will provide a tranquil escape. This 4 Bed, 3.5 Bath Highlands original has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining the historic character of the circa 1900 home. Enjoy the beautiful hardwoods and original millwork throughout. The gourmet Kitchen offers top of the line finishes with marble countertops and custom cabinetry. Walk upstairs to the well-appointed primary suite and you will find a relaxing retreat from your daily activities with a large soaking tub and a marble tiled shower. Go beyond the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor, where you will find the 4th Bedroom- which is currently configured as a family room with a kitchenette. This spacious floor allows for the potential of an additional in-law suite or even the opportunity to split up this room and make this a 5 bedroom with the window/closet locations. Step outside to the private tree-lined backyard where you will find the carriage house, featuring a two-car garage with bonus space above- perfect for a potential AirBnB build-out. Elegance and character await you at this stately Cherokee Triangle home.

Pending. 4/26/16, contingent on inspections only and BACK UP OFFER in place. Outstanding opportunity to live in ''new home'' inside a historic facade in an area with prime access to restaurants, boutiques, and great schools within 1/2 mile. Overhauled completely in 2014, this home combines modern amenities and traditional elements with style. Outstanding features include an open concept kitchen with full height cabinetry, Danby marble counters, & GE Cafe Pro cooking line. Entire cooking area This line includes features like double oven, 5 burner gas stove, Advantium speed cook oven, & a 3 rack dishwasher. The entire cooking area has a subway-tiled backsplash. There are Marvin storms doors to the covered deck. The flat 175 ft. deep yard is privacy-fenced. TRUE 2 car garage accommodates an SUV and sedan, & there is true expansion potential on the 2nd floor above garage (carriage house potential). The master suite is exquisite with a carrera tiled walk-in shower with double shower heads, private water closet, deep soaking tub, and a walk in closet. The light in this home is magnificent in the morning and the afternoon with the exposure and large window. The baths are ALL new in 2014! 3 true bedroom and a 2nd floor laundry! The third floor has a 2nd kitchenette, 4th bedroom, and 3rd bath, yet is configured as the family room. With the window/closet locations, making this a 5 bedroom is an easy change to make! Homes like this are rarely available. Don't wait!
