Not often does an opportunity such as this come along in one of Louisville's most historic and sought-after neighborhoods... This circa 1911 Arts & Crafts home on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed and constructed by prominent architect William J. Dodd and is located on the iconic Saint James Court in Old Louisville. The two-and-a-half story house offers 4385 Sq. Ft. of living space with 6 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. This architecturally significant Foursquare offers stucco exterior walls, red terracotta tile roofing, ornamental bracketed cornice, stucco planter boxes, and original stained & leaded glass windows. From the covered front porch, you will enter the home through a 4' wide by 8' tall front door into the grand entry foyer with a mahogany alcove and the ornate front staircase. To your right, you will find the formal living room with its sculptured, pressed plaster ornate ceiling & a Byzantine style marble working gas fireplace with blue and gold mosaic tile flanked by built-in cabinetry with leaded glass doors. The living room offers a broad wooden alcove overlooking the court. Behind the living room, you will find a banquet-sized dining room that connects to the butler's pantry with a handcrafted mahogany wet bar and cabinetry, with a wine cooler. The custom-designed kitchen (by Louisville's Architect, Ted Bressoud) was created for master chefs with an oversized center island, cherry cabinetry, Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring, a walk-in pantry, a 6 burner Viking stove with grill & griddle, double ovens (one with convection system), commercial Viking vent hood, warming drawer, double stainless sink and prep sink (both with disposals) and chevron tile backsplash. Just off the kitchen to the North is a conservatory/breakfast room with terracotta tile and floor-to-ceiling double-paned windows. There is also a powder room on this floor.
