Welcome to 1425 Central Avenue, a beautifully transformed one-story brick home on a quiet, tree-lined block just three blocks from Taylor-Berry Park and less than a mile from Churchill Downs.
Enjoy the energy and tradition of the Kentucky Derby without being in the middle of it. This home has been thoughtfully updated to blend original charm with modern comfort and flexible space.
Inside, find all new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and a cozy fireplace in the living room that flows easily into the kitchen. The first floor includes two bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom with clean, modern finishes.
Downstairs, the newly finished basement offers a large bonus room with an adjoining walk-in closet, perfect for use as a guest room, home office, or flex space. While the lower-level room does not have an egress window, it is fully finished and versatile. The basement also features a half bath, a finished laundry room with plenty of space to add storage, and a separate utility room with a new HVAC system and water heater.
The walk-up basement leads to a fully fenced backyard with a brand new deck, a detached two-car garage, a carport for additional covered parking or entertaining space, and an extra fenced area ideal for pets or storage.
Exterior updates include new shutters, wood porch accents, driveway hardscaping, and security guards on windows and doors for added peace of mind.
Located just over 1.5 miles from U of L and Cardinal Stadium, with easy access to local parks, restaurants, and downtown.
