1616 Fernwood Ave, Louisville, KY 40205

A Highlands classic, this stately Craftsman Foursquare has been meticulously renovated to reclaim its original character, replace its outdated systems, and add nearly 1,000sf of flexible spaces -- including a fully appointed living area in the basement. Just a block from Bardstown Road, the home is situated on a sunny corner lot surrounded by extensive gardens designed for year-round color and minimal maintenance. Inside, you're greeted by a bright, open space with living and dining areas separated by glass built-ins. The renovated eat-in kitchen features new quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom storage benches, and painstakingly restored cabinetry. The first floor also includes a new full bathroom and gorgeous hardwood floors with decorative inlay. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, two more large bedrooms with closets and plantation shutters throughout, a sun-drenched office nook, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom. The third floor has been converted into useable space and now serves as a screening room with separate study, but the options are endless. The newly finished basement has its own entrance and includes a kitchenette, full bathroom, ample storage, multiple flex spaces (sleeping areas, office/music room, etc.), and attached garage. A true rarity among historic homes, you won't have to worry about a thing since these are all new in the last three years: Roof, HVAC, water heater, windows, electrical sub panel, all new plumbing throughout, washer/dryer and hookups (now on 2 floors), downspouts and gutters with guards, driveway, garage door, spray foam insulation (basement and 3rd floor), and main line to street (with municipal clean-out added when clay main was replaced). Endless attention to detail, from the restored Florentine glass doors to the 2nd Floor bathroom vanity built out of a restored 19th century marble-top Eastlake highboy. 1616 Fernwood is truly a must-see!
