Public Remarks: Resting under venerable pines, atop a sprawling slope lies 404 Lightfoot Road. Built in 1925 on a rare corner lot, the home draws enchanting parallels between an English countryside cottage and a charming cape cod. A home is neither defined nor confined by its structure. A home is defined by the style it reflects, by the character it embodies, by stories told and memories made. This home's style lives within and is reflected in concrete measure through architectural details like mirrored arches, ribbon windows that wrap the home in warmth and decorative wall trim crown molding. Inspired with reverence of bygone days, the homes classical elements merry harmoniously with modern updates like a Viking range, granite countertops and custom cabinetry. The juxtaposing tactile combination of mediums from wood to granite to stone serve as a historical nod, representative of the multitude of generations the home has housed. Striking hardwoods provide an effortless transition between the voluminous interiors, featuring four bedrooms and five full bathrooms throughout its 4,500+ square feet of living space. The home's open floor plan is echoed in the lower level, featuring a substantial 1000+ square feet of infinite potential. From elegant soirees to family barbecues, the backyard was designed to enrich connections amongst all. A fence encloses the residence, further evoking the English countryside allure at its full tilt. The home's lush landscaping indelibly telegraphs inaudible feelings of serenity akin to the blissful breeze wafting through the open-air. Time stands still in 404 Lightfoot, for those who take a moment to appreciate the beauty of its heritage.

Welcome to the style and charm of Louisville in the 1920's on one of Louisville's most desirable streets. This wonderful cape cod lets you know in many ways that you have gone back in time. The design features 3 bay windows, 5 interior arched doorways, 3 sets of interior French doors, a lovely marble fireplace, and an entry hall/rear hall space with graceful columns that functions delightfully for entertaining. The formal rooms are magnificent, expecially the dining room with its leaded glass casement windows and sunny bay. The kitchen has been updated with modern cabinets and appliances. The den is ideally sited as a family focal spot with access from the sun room, living room, and grand hall. Go upstairs to 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The huge basement with a full bath is perfect for recreation and has incredible storage and cabinetry. The yard (over 1/2 acre) is well planted and very private. A truly remarkable property! LG&E average is $309.91. This property was featured in the Courier Journal Home & Garden section in November 2008.
