About this home
There are certain streets that simply feel special, and Penwood is one of them. Situated along this coveted dead-end street culminating in a cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated home offers an exceptional combination of location, character, thoughtful design and truly move-in-ready living. With Seneca and Cherokee Parks nearby, St. Matthews in one direction and the Highlands in the other, so many of the amenities we all love about Louisville are close at hand—favorite restaurants and neighborhood bakeries, local shops, parks and everyday conveniences. Just as compelling as the location is the home itself. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, this four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath residence blends the timeless character of a classic Cape Cod with sophisticated updates and a wonderfully versatile floor plan designed for the way we live today. Adding to its turnkey appeal, there is no carpet anywhere in the home, with solid-surface flooring throughout and gleaming hardwood floors extending into most of the living spaces on the first and second levels. The main level begins with a generous living room centered around a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. Beyond, the strikingly renovated kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, offering an abundance of cabinetry, including an entire wall of built-in pantry storage, along with a center island and breakfast bar. Gorgeous walnut butcher-block countertops are paired with a marble backsplash, while a full complement of appliances remains, including the wine refrigerator. The adjoining dining area is wonderfully spacious, easily accommodating a generous dining table with room for a serving buffet. One of the home's most versatile spaces is the Florida-style sunroom, connected to the kitchen and dining area through a large, open transition that creates an effortless flow from one living space to the next. Designer tile, three walls of windows and an abundance of natural light make this so much more than a pass-through room. Generous enough for multiple uses, it could serve as a casual sitting room, morning coffee space or additional entertaining area while also incorporating a stylish drop zone near the garage entry. A sliding door continues the living space outdoors to the covered rear deck overlooking the private, thoughtfully landscaped lawn—a wonderful backdrop for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. Another standout feature—and one that makes this floor plan particularly special—is the main-level primary suite. The spacious bedroom is complemented by a fabulous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a truly luxurious, spa-inspired bath. Dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, built-in linen cubbies and a private water closet create a retreat that feels both elegant and exceptionally functional. A fully renovated powder room serves the main level, while charming recessed original built-ins nearby preserve a bit of the home's character while providing additional linen or household storage. Upstairs, true to classic Cape Cod design, two remarkably generous bedrooms offer an unexpected amount of space and excellent closet storage, including an impressive walk-in closet in one. Both bedrooms share a hall bath featuring period-inspired finishes, a tub and shower combination and additional linen storage. The finished lower level extends the versatility of the home even further. A large family room with a second fireplace provides another inviting place to gather, while an additional flex room lends itself to a home office, hobby room, playroom or exercise space. The home's fourth bedroom is also located on this level, conveniently adjacent to another full bath that has been nicely updated—creating wonderful possibilities for guests or additional private living space. Updated throughout yet filled with original character, remarkably spacious yet warm and inviting, this is a home that offers flexibility for many chapters of life. Add its private, landscaped outdoor setting and an address on one of the area's most coveted streets, surrounded by some of Louisville's most treasured parks, neighborhoods, shops and dining, and the result is an exceptional place to call home!...
