2409 Seneca Valley Rd, Seneca Gardens, KY 40205

Public Remarks: Last time this house was on the market, Harry Truman was president. This is a rare opportunity to own a home in fabulous Seneca Gardens and even better yet, on Seneca Valley Road, a cull-de-sac. It has been in the same family for over 62 years. This property backs up to Seneca Golf Course. It is a true classic Colonial, with massive columns holding up a stately front porch and stained glass windows in the entry foyer. You will immediately be drawn to the refinished hard wood PEGGED flooring as soon as you enter the home. The living room is large and very light with an attractive picture window facing the 9th hole green. It most impressive feature is the striking wood burning fireplace and mantle. Entering the side screened porch will place you adjacent to a tranquil rock garden extending the length of the back patio. The kitchen has been tastefully redone with natural stone countertops. Off the kitchen, an attractive breakfast room features a built in China Cabinet. A wide central stairway leads to a spacious second floor hallway with two bedrooms and an unusually large master for a home of this age. Rising another stairway leads to a third floor featuring a fourth bedroom and bath. The home has a two car attached garage with a spacious and functional workshop conveniently located behind the garage. The minor renovations have been tasteful so a new buyer does not have to pay for and redo past follies. The home is very livable as it is but is a great prospect for an exciting facelift. Seneca Gardens was voted as one of the best places to live by Louisville Magazine. It sits adjacent to Seneca Park and is a wonderful park like setting. Great place to bicycle or walk. It has been compared to an Arboretum with its 1200 trees of a variety of species many planted in the last 20 years. Although completely surrounded by the City of Louisville since 1948, Seneca Gardens is self-governed through its election of a Mayor and City Commissioners. Appointed positions include a clerk, attorney, engineer and forester. This team represents the residents in ensuring that the city maintains its beauty and is provided basic services. The services include police and fire protection, garbage collection, road maintenance and water drainage.
