Public Remarks: Built in 1952 and lovingly maintained by its current owner for over 50 years, this elegant center hall colonial sits on a gracious .73-acre lot in the heart of Indian Hills, one of Louisville's most desirable neighborhoods. A welcoming entry foyer is flanked by a large formal living room and a cozy paneled study with built-in bookcases. A light-filled sunroom addition with vaulted ceiling and a well-proportioned formal dining room with bay french doors both provide access to the charming rear brick terrace and flower beds and sport court beyond. The kitchen is outfitted with custom art glass backsplash and stainless-steel countertops and features top of the line appliances from Bosch, Dacor, and GE Monogram. An additional family room completes the first floor and connects to the attached two car garage. The spacious second floor primary suite features built-in closets and window seats and an updated en suite bathroom with walk in shower and dressing table. Three additional bedrooms upstairs share a hall bath. A Dutch door in one of the bedrooms most recently used as an office leads to the porch over the front door and offers a birds' eye view of the surrounding beauty of the neighborhood. A fifth bedroom with en suite bathroom is located over the garage and is accessible via back staircase. The nearly 1400 sf unfinished basement offers opportunities to expand the finished living space and includes secondary access via the garage. The home also features a whole house generator.
