Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved Victorian duplex in the heart of Louisville's Original Highlands, where timeless architecture meets one of the city's most walkable and sought-after neighborhoods. Rich with historic character, this income-producing property offers exceptional flexibility for investors or owner-occupants alike. The first-floor residence features two spacious bedrooms and one full bath, showcasing soaring ceilings, original hardwood flooring, abundant natural light from oversized windows, and generously sized living and dining rooms perfect for entertaining. The kitchen opens directly onto a private rear deck, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining, while the full bath blends historic charm with a refreshed white subway tile shower. Ample closet space throughout and in-unit laundry add modern convenience to this classic home. Occupying the second and third floors, the upper residence lives more like a single-family home with three bedrooms and two full baths. The expansive third-floor suite offers endless possibilities, with a distinctive turret-style window creating the perfect setting for a yoga studio, home office, artist's retreat, or reading nook. The loft-like layout provides a unique primary suite experience, while the space could also be converted into a separate studio apartment, offering the potential for a triplex (buyer to verify zoning and approvals). Additional highlights include private upper and lower rear decks, off-street parking accessed from the alley, and an unbeatable location just steps from the Highlands' vibrant collection of local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and nightlife. Downtown Louisville and NuLu are only minutes away, making this an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Louisville history in one of its most iconic neighborhoods.
