1209 Summit Ave, Louisville, KY 40204

This is it! You have to see this beautiful, grand Cape Cod with 5 large bedrooms, 4-1/2 updated baths, and a great Highlands location close to downtown, Bardstown Rd, and Louisville's park system. The nicely landscaped yard, new aggregate sidewalk, and herringbone pattern brick patio lead to the custom-built french door entry way, and stepping into the foyer, find fabulous, dark-stained pegged hardwoods throughout the wide-open-for-entertaining main level floor plan. Enjoy the large family room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, and totally remodeled eat-in kitchen with high-end appliances, marble countertops, and separate pantry. There are also 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a wide hallway with great closet space, including a cedar room for all kinds of storage. A 12x12 mud room leads from the kitchen to the 2-car attached garage, and also to both sides of the backyard. On the second floor, which was finished in 2010 with beautiful hand-scraped hardwood floors, there are 2 bedrooms, one of which is the secluded master with great walk-in closets. There is a cozy master bath, as well as an additional full bathroom that leads to the spacious laundry room. The lower level has a great play area at the bottom of the steps with 3 adjoining large closets. There is an enormous space for entertainment, and an open kitchenette with brand new and unused cabinet space (could be a great craft room). Rounding out the lower level is a newly restored half-bath with 2 nice closets, one of which could easily be converted into a full bath if necessary (the plumbing is accessible), a small bonus room (could be used as a bedroom or office, or additional play space) with large closet, and the unfinished mechanical / storage area. The peaceful back yard includes plenty of green space, a carport, great basketball area, and a back patio with brick walkway. Practically everything with this property has been updated within the last 4 years, including the new roof in July 2012.
