1516 W Chestnut St, Louisville, KY 40203

Amazing opportunity to own a totally restored and meticulously renovated Duplex in a historic Louisville neighborhood! Built in 1900, this elegant Italianate design, solid three layers of brick property has been taken down to the studs in 2006 and revitalized to its original elegance. With new drywall throughout, flooring, electric service, lighting, new exterior staircase and an additional second kitchen and second full bathroom, this home offers years of enjoyable living. Most of the valuable original features of this home such as the pocket doors, have been preserved to maintain its historic character. Used as a short term and long term rental, the owners have kept the property in great condition since purchasing it in 2006. With a washer and dryer in each unit, tenants can have clean clothes and bed linens readily available. Although on a main thoroughfare, this home has a cozy and private ambiance with street noise minimized by the thick brick insulation. On a snow emergency route, Chestnut Street receives priority for snow plowing. When utilized as an income producing short term rental, this home has accommodated both out of town and local guests for special events, family reunions, Derby guests, etc. Long term rentals have also proved successful. Easily used as a single family home, its floor plan offers versatility and options. The extra deep backyard with rear entry access can accommodate a large garage, an elaborate garden, and/or a patio for entertaining and relaxation. A bonus for this home, located on a quiet block, is long term neighbors with years of homeownership who take pride in the area and work hard to preserve it.
