311 W Lee St, Louisville, KY, 40208

Step back in time while simultaneously enjoying the amenities of modern living. Originally built near the turn of the twentieth century, this historic Old Louisville Victorian offers the quality craftsmanship of that era alongside pleasing updates for the lifestyles of today. Pedestrians can enjoy the half mile journey to the Speed Art Museum or UofL's Ekstrom Library. Once inside the home you'll notice the high ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring and open feel of the first floor filled with natural light. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a Forno dual fuel stove (gas range, electric convection oven). There are cabinets aplenty and counter space that goes on for days. The dining area features custom french doors that open to a cozy deck and a completely fenced back yard which leads to a one car garage. Pocket doors still exist between the living room and dining room and are functional. The living room boasts a giant front window displaying a fantastic view of the turn of the century limestone walls and mirroring architecture of the two homes across the street. There are two decorative fireplaces on this floor, one in the living room and one in the entryway. There is also one spacious full bathroom on this floor. The second floor includes three bedrooms, one full bathroom with an oversized bathtub/shower combo and a bonus water closet with commode. All three of the rooms include custom built-in shelving and ceiling fans. The northeast bedroom features french doors that overlook the backyard. It also has a large closet and a decorative fireplace. The southeast bedroom includes a decorative fireplace as well. Both of the eastern bedrooms on this floor retain wood flooring which is quite possibly original White Oak. The southwest bedroom includes a walk-in closet that has plumbing for a washing machine, offering the option of creating a second laundry location. On the third floor there are two more rooms previously used as bedrooms by the current owner, a bonus room and another full bathroom. Each of the three floors are separate HVAC zones. This combined with the well insulated third floor really helps in keeping the utility costs manageable. The home includes a hardwired security system and integrated smoke detectors. Additionally, each bedroom has separately keyed locks if this property is being considered for tenant occupancy or short term rental. In the basement you'll discover that the plumbing and electric has been updated to 21st century expectations. You'll also find the laundry area, a utility sink, a sump pump, the 75 gallon water heater and plenty of extra storage space. As an added bonus, this area of the neighborhood receives electric service via underground utilities as opposed to overhead lines. And don't forget about the great cultural experiences this neighborhood has to offer including the Saint James Art Fair, Shakespeare in the Park and The Garvin Gate Blues Festival. Definitely don't let this move in ready property pass you by!
