Property Description

Immaculate, beautiful Old Louisville Victorian w/ rich history and quality craftsmanship . Very rare continuous single-family, owner occupancy use since 1st C. 1894, as the home of builder John Alexander. Lovingly restored and maintained by current owners over the last 25+ yrs w/ ATTN to every detail. Wrought iron fencing at front sidewalk, greets and ushers you thru the antique gate, up the entry path, in the front door to an uplifting, bright foyer (w/ elegant, engraved Fireplace mantel and sweeping banister) filled w/ natural light, shining through orig. stained glass, reflecting off gleaming, inlaid hardwood floors. Open, updated, pro-architect-designed gourmet kitchen w/ massive center island, provides Perfect culinary or entertaining / gathering space and flows out to covered, rear deck, looking out onto lushly landscaped, private, Low-maintenance-required, brick courtyard, w/ Fountain, art and statuary - creating an oasis setting of serene tranquility amidst the urban bustle - as well as covered parking/ carport space. Courtyard transitions nicely across a no-cut-thru brick alley to (Old Lou Neighborhood-owned) Jubilee Park. Abundant period details remain intact, incl pocket doors, front and rear staircases, intricate brass work and much more. Tucked in, bamboo-flanked, upper, rear deck provides great views of open sky, tall, shade trees and allows the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. Additional potential expansion, workshop or storage space on Unfinished 3rd Flr and ( interior-accessed) Cellar. "The Alexander House," has provided both a comfortable home for the owners, allowing a stylish and sophisticated lifestyle, lucrative bonus income (renting ....the home out during KY Derby) as well as a great spot to entertain a long roster of famous celebrity guests over the years. An absolutely lovely, unique, special property, now seeking new appreciative stewards - Best to hurry on this one! Home to be Sold "As Is", contingent - at Buyers' option - upon inspections, with Sellers to carry out no further repairs or improvements.
