The attractive living room and the signature cherry library/family room, formal dining room and the new gallery hallway weave together and create a vivid front to back view of this extraordinary home. The great flow is enhanced by french doors leading to the wrap around limestone terraces from several rooms, and views of the gorgeous easy to maintain salt water pool beyond. (which includes an electric cover) There's a fun and cheerful pool bath/shower, and an adorable newly added shed in the back of the yard. The eat in kitchen with granite counters, Wolf and Subzero appliances includes a newly added custom wine bar/buffet area. The new first floor master addition has heated floors and electronic window controls, a large master closet and a laundry, a steam shower, and the master opens to a private terrace. Upstairs you'll discover the original master suite and gorgeous recently renovated bathroom with large walk in shower, and two other lovely en suite bedrooms, one with a cozy nook. The lower walkout level is finished with a family room and a game room, a full bath, and a large laundry area. The private .73 acre lot is perfect for friend and family gatherings around the pool and terraces, and the lovely yard beyond. The tall ceilings, the one of a kind architectural design and details and quality finishes throughout, and fabulous location, make this a glorious place to call home. Whole house generator, 3 zone HVAC, backyard irrigation, fully fenced backyard, attached two car garage, multiple guest parking in front.

This home is a unique Regency-style property crafted by Louisville's two most distinguished architects. In 1936, Frederick Lindley Morgan built the home and later in 1989 Stratton O Hammon performed a tasteful renovation. Upon laying eyes on this home, you will admire the character and appeal. The two story foyer with curved staircase provides ample light for the wall insets for special paintings. The first floor also contains a large living room, beautiful dining room, eat-in kitchen with separate wet bar, powder bath and family room which opens to the limestone terrace overlooking the private rear lawn. The second floor houses a spacious master bedroom with two walk-in closets, two guest bedrooms each with their own baths and a dressing room which could be used as a nursery. All rooms except the baths have double or triple light exposures. Location and character make this home a must have. Be sure to view the virtual tour.
