This majestic Deer Park Century house is perched just above the Boulevard and a few doors from Bardstown Road. Custom built in 1914 for the Rueff lighting family, this home has been lovingly maintained and left with its original charm by the current owners, There are so many fine architectural details including hardwood floors (some with exquisite inlay), crown moulding and detailed trimwork, dual staircases, a butler's pantry and soaring ceilings, just to name a few. It's no surprise that there are some fabulous lighting fixtures, in particular the foyer crystal ceiling fixture and chandeliers in the living and dining rooms. The front porch welcomes one into the grand foyer where certainly many guests have been greeted over the years. From the foyer the flow takes one into the living room with fireplace and into the sun washed dining room with built in window seating. From the dining room a convenient and time treasured butler's pantry provides access to the large cook's kitchen. There is a convenient half bath tucked under the front steps and a nice sized den just off of the kitchen. Ascending to the second floor one will be captivated by the artistically designed stained glass window. The second floor has four large bedrooms (two of which have fireplaces) a full bath, a half bath and a super charming sleeping porch! The third floor which is currently a loft and fifth bedroom has so many possibilities going forward. It could be an amazing primary suite, studio, home office/den billiard room, etc. Equally the unfinished lower level has loads of potential as well. One of the stand out features of this home though is coveted three car garage parking! In this highly desirable part of the Highlands, off street parking is typical but a three car garage is almost unheard of. This is an unbelievable opportunity to purchase a classic home that has been left intact with its original charm in one of the best neighborhoods in Louisville.
