About this home

Seller says get it sold! Here's your chance to own an incredible live/work property with a proven rental history in the heart of Old Louisville. Perfectly positioned just two blocks from Central Park and within the bustling ''town center,'' this 1890 historic gem enjoys both strong vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The first floor, now vacant, was most recently rented to a floral studio. With soaring 12' ceilings and flexible layout including retail space, workroom, storage, office, and half bath, the possibilities are nearly endless. Imagine a coffee shop, bookstore, café, art studio, boutique offices, local bar, or other neighborhood-friendly businesses. Direct access to the rear parking and loading zone adds convenience. Upstairs, the 4-bedroom, 2-bath unit has been successfully operated as a mid- to long-term Airbnb. With tall ceilings, rich millwork, gleaming hardwoods, and abundant natural light, the space blends historic character with modern function. Live upstairs while running your own business belowor continue renting both units for an average monthly income of $7,500. Additional highlights include 7 off-street parking spaces, a rear loading area, and thoughtful updates such as dual 200-amp electrical service, all new HVAC systems (2019), a new hot water heater, concrete-poured cellar with sump pump, insulated attic, and a fully replaced water/sewer line. Rear deck and stairs have also been repaired and updated. Seller is open to including the upstairs furnishings with a strong offer. This is a rare opportunity to invest, live, and work in one of Louisville's most historic and vibrant neighborhoods. Don't miss it!...
