Realtor's notes: A charming Folk Victorian in the Heart of the Highlands. Welcome to this timeless two-story, built around the 1930's and nestled in the highly desirable Original Highlands neighborhood—just minutes from Tyler Park, Bardstown Road, NuLu and the best of downtown Louisville. With approximately 2,448 finished square feet, this 4-bedroom, with the primary on the main, 2-bath home beautifully balances historic character with thoughtful updates. Inside, you will find tall ceilings, an inviting open staircase, and large rooms that reflect the craftsmanship of another era. The home's aluminum siding offers low maintenance, while years of careful ownership and attention to detail shine through every space. The covered front porch invites you to sit and relax, while the enclosed back porch off the second level offers a quiet spot to unwind with morning coffee or evening breezes. Out back, a spacious, privacy-fenced yard provides plenty of room for entertaining, play, or gardening. A recently added two-car detached garage, accessible from the alley, adds both convenience and value, complete with an unfinished bonus room above that's rough-plumbed and ready for your creative touch. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since 1989, this home is filled with warmth, history, and the kind of charm that defines the Original Highlands. Come see why this property isn't just a place to live, it's a place to belong.
