Location and historical pride. This ''Painted Lady'' has a very versatile floor plan (which can be set up a number of ways) 3/4 full bedrooms, library in the foyer, living room, dining room and family room; high ceilings, wood floors, four fireplaces, exposed brick, bay windows to capture the sunlight along with numerous updates including zone cooling, modern kitchen, a custom master bathroom with Jacuzzi, family/game room, two decks and fully fenced yard! This Painted Lady is bursting with character and personality. You can't beat the location, neighborhood or home. Indeed, this is Louisville's most popular and beloved neighborhood known for its picturesque historic architecture. You are not only walking distance of gonzo writer Hunter Thompson's childhood home, but also walking distance to some of Louisville's most popular four star restaurants and the best nightlife for locals. Why live anywhere else when you can get such a great home and neighborhood? Fabulous Victorian rehabbed by nation's leading historic preservationists! Live, touch, and experience one of Louisville's most popular and prestigious Victorian neighborhoods— the Original Highlands which had its first large mansion built in 1814. OWN a real authentic Victorian home that is nearly 130 years old (built in 1900). While the first Kentucky Derby was 143 years ago, the Painted Lady was built four years later and has been the subject of news stories in the New York Times (2007), USA Today, and in the book, Invisible City. The house has also been featured as the "house of the week" and perhaps house of the year. It was also the site of the major motion picture The Song, the story of a rock star who had it all, including the "Painted Lady". https://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/home-garden/home-of-the-week/2014/04/24/highlands-home-john-gilderbloom-irene-gagne/8108739/
