Public Remarks: Welcome home! This is not just another charming St. Matthews home. This three bedroom, two full bath Cape Cod is only two blocks from one of Louisville's favorite Seneca Park, and is less than 1/2 a mile from lots of dining, coffee shops, schools, retail, markets, and much more. Once you step inside you will notice how bright the home is with lots of windows, including a bay window that floods the updated kitchen with light. The stainless steel appliances, wine chiller and recessed lights in the kitchen add to the list of must haves on buyers lists. Original hardwood floors cover the entire main and second floor. The finished basement boasts an office nook and Rec Room. The homeowners would tell you how much they love their covered back yard deck, where they end up entertaining their friends and neighbors as often as possible. Other things they boast about are the large closets, fully fenced back yard, fast furnace, great gas stove, working fireplace, new plumbing lines, new concrete driveway and the amazing water pressure.
