393 Mockingbird Valley Rd, Mockingbird Valley, KY 40207
About this home
Public Remarks: Goldilocks would adore the Three Dancing Bears at 393 Mockingbird Valley Road!! They have been enjoyed by everyone driving down this well-loved street. Now they can be yours. The house was lovingly named Tranquility and was part of the original property owned by the Wathen family. It has been featured in many articles and was included in the local book Behind Closed Doors for the benefit of the Louisville Deaf Oral School. It's an entertainer's dream!! This spectacular 2.5 story white center hall colonial is perched at the top of the hill on this 3.39-acre property. The new owners will feel like they are on top of the world. The gracious driveway passes thru a gate and leads you to topiaries of a rabbit and elephant and spectacular gardens. The privacy is amazing with terraces, porches and fabulous stonework. The house is a masterpiece of architectural design and has huge entertaining rooms, gorgeous hardwood floors, millwork, tall ceilings, fireplaces, a stunning sunroom, recently remodeled kitchen with fabulous storage, custom draperies, and an elevator servicing 3 floors. Up a gracious staircase there are 4 large bedrooms two with ensuite baths including the new primary bath and two bedrooms share a remodeled bath that is fabulous. The third floor is finished and could be an artist studio, playroom, or any use you might have. The full basement also includes 2 non-conforming bedrooms and full bath. There is a two-car attached garage with mudroom and an additional four-car detached garage.
