Description
Perched atop one of Louisville’s most beloved streets, this original Stratton Hammon stone masterpiece offers the opportunity to own a private piece of Louisville’s rich architectural history, featuring Hammon’s acclaimed design and millwork on nearly an acre of manicured lawn and gardens. Publicly available for the first time in nearly 30 years, this iconic Spring Dr home sits just steps from the gorgeous grounds of Cherokee Park as well as the countless amenities, restaurants and businesses of Bardstown Road, offering historic charm in an exceptionally convenient area. With an unparalleled first impression, guests first approach the home from a semi-circular driveway and staggered stone steps, greeted by an impressive multi-arched brick entryway and stone porch. Intricate trim work, arched openings, and mixed-width pegged hardwood floors set the tone for the first floor of the home as guests arrive into the spacious foyer. A handsome study with incredible wooden bookshelves and bright windows overlooking the English-style backyard garden invites guests further into the home. The first floor continues into the expansive great room filled with natural light and anchored by a one-of-a-kind marble fireplace, featuring carved marble mantles obtained from Rome by Hammon during the home’s original build. Off the great room, a bright sunroom with cozy bay window and access to the home’s front and rear yards completes this wing of the home. Past an incredible curved stairwell with stained glass window, the spacious formal dining provides the perfect place for elevated entertaining. The home’s renovated gourmet kitchen offers tasteful modern updates while still preserving the rich character and style of the home, featuring granite countertops and backsplash, sleek wood cabinetry, prep island with gas range, Subzero refrigerator, walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. A fully-outfitted wet bar with beverage cooler and storage shares the kitchen with the windowed breakfast room, creating the perfect spot for time with family and friends. A powder room completes the first floor. Accessible by two stairwells, the second floor features an incredible primary suite with spacious bedroom with sitting area, gas fireplace, and custom closet storage, as well as a designer primary bathroom with arched soaking tub, glass shower, and his-and-her vanities. On the opposite wing, a spacious corner bedroom with en-suite bath and views overlooking the front and side yards offers a welcoming guest suite for any occasion. The second floor features two additional bedrooms with Jack-and-Jill bath and gracious closets, as well as an oversize cedar closet for additional storage. The home’s third floor features two cozy bedrooms or studio spaces, shared full bath, and additional room for storage. The estate’s grounds are equally unforgettable, featuring a brick and stone patio, enclosed and flat backyard with stone retaining wall, peaceful water feature with waterfall, grilling area with convenient gas line, and impressive 2-car garage with breezeway designed to seamlessly blend with the main house. With additional parking in the front and rear of the home, guests are guaranteed a breathtaking entrance from any angle. A once-in-a-decade opportunity, this home is not to be missed.
