910 Cherokee Rd, Louisville, KY 40204

Public Remarks: In the heart of the Cherokee Triangle, where Louisville's architectural legacy and vibrant culture converge, this home stands as a rare and storied offering. Built in 1900 by Joseph Edward Marret, proprietor of the distinguished florist shop once located on Cherokee Road, his residence is woven into the very fabric of the neighborhood. Today, this remarkable residence has been restored as an elegant single-family home, offering the rare opportunity to steward a piece of Louisville history while enjoying modern comfort. The main level unfolds with a formal foyer showcasing inlaid hardwood floors, cut-glass entry doors with transom, and an open staircase framed by leaded glass and a window seat. A gracious parlor features two pairs of substantial pocket doors, a crystal chandelier, original cylinder glass windows, and a fireplace, creating an ideal setting for intimate gatherings. The dining room, scaled to host large parties with ease, is equally impressive, illuminated by chandelier light and warmed by its own fireplace. The fully remodeled kitchen pairs fresh neutral finishes with new Bosch appliances, creating a space that honors the home's heritage while embracing modern living. A study lined with built-in bookshelves, a well-designed laundry and mudroom, and a full bath with a classic clawfoot tub complete the main level. The second level offer three spacious bedrooms, including two adjoining rooms with a generous walk-in closet. Fireplaces, built-in bookcases, and large picture windows with original cylinder glass fill these rooms with warmth and natural light. An additional office, flexible craft or storage room, two large full baths, including one with a whirlpool tub, and a light-filled entertainment or Florida room provide both function and versatility. Notably, many of the hardwood floors display striking natural striping from old-growth lumber that was already rare by the early 1900s, a testament to the craftsmanship and quality woven throughout. The third level presents a private entertainment wing complete with a ventless fireplace, an expansive bedroom with dual closets, a spa-inspired bath featuring a whirlpool tub and steam shower, and ample storage, making it ideal for guests or a secluded retreat. Outside, an alley-fed two-car garage and a private, fenced Highlands backyard create rare convenience in this beloved neighborhood. The cellar offers generous storage and preserves tangible pieces of the home's history, including original hardware, solid wood doors, antique work tables, and even remnants of the original plumbing, wiring, and coal room. Surrounded by the annual Cherokee Triangle Art Fair, cherished community events, celebrated local dining, nightlife, distinctive boutiques, and the natural beauty of Cherokee Park, this is more than a residence. It is a living chapter of Louisville's story.
