Property Description

In the heart of historic Clifton, this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-ba shotgun-style home is currently configured as a 1-bedroom residence. One of the most notable recent updates was the addition of a new Bryant HVAC system in 2024. The front room originally served as the second bedroom. It has now been repurposed into a versatile living area and home office space. It can easily be converted back to a 2-bedroom layout by simply adding a door. True to its shotgun design, the home offers 3 separate covered entry doors---front and side entrances, as well as a kitchen entry door, providing convenient access and added privacy; ideal for guests, a roommate arrangement, or a home office setup. Rich, refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas, adding warmth and character. The spacious primary suite features two closets, including a well-hidden walk-in closet, and an ensuite primary bathroom with a relaxing whirlpool tub/shower combination. The bright kitchen showcases crisp white cabinetry and has been updated with a new refrigerator (2023) & stove (2022), as well as a new stainless-steel sink and faucet (2022). At the rear of the home, an addition creates a spacious dining area, sharing a dual-sided breakfast bar with the kitchen, along with a half bath, laundry area, and a newer washer and dryer (2021). This room could also function nicely as a large sunroom filled with plants. Step outside onto the rear deck, which overlooks the lush backyard, shaded by mature trees. Other upgrades include: new tile was added to the fireplace hearth (2022), new ductwork was run to the front of the house (2024), a new lawn was planted in 2023, landscaping rock was added around the deck in 2024, and a new faucet was added in the primary bathroom (2022). Both off-street and on-street parking are available. The large well-lit cellar is accessed from the outside underneath the deck and is outfitted with a padlocked person door (no pull-open hatch or narrow staircase). It offers plentiful storage and also houses the mechanicals. This delightful Clifton home is close to many local restaurant favorites like Bourbon's Bistro, Red Hog, Irish Rover, Volare and Veranese, to name a few. Daily essentials are equally convenient, such as Kroger, Walgreens, Oscar's Hardware, an array of boutiques, veterinary clinics, coffee shops & other service-based businesses. Quick access to the freeway & downtown Louisville. Located in one of Louisville's most sought-after neighborhoods, this charming Clifton gem offers the perfect combination of historic character and modern comfort, with quick access to the Frankfort Avenue corridor close by.
