About This Home
As of September 2015The house at 1212 Castlewood Avenue is truly one of Louisville's hidden treasures. A Federal style brick home that was built in 1812 with an addition completed in 1872, it was at one point a stop for the Overland Express. There is a log cabin guest/pool house and a large, well maintained in-ground pool on the attached, adjoining lot (1205 Castlewood Dell). The combined lots total just shy of one acre. There is a motorized gate and brick driveway leading to a two car garage. The house has been extremely well taken care of with particular attention to the maintenance of its historical integrity. Horsehair plaster, wide plank wood floors, blown glass windows, working fireplaces and early 19th century woodwork and detail abound throughout the home. Several local artists have contributed to the house's aesthetic over the years with gardens designed by Stephen Irwin and rooms painted by Letitia Quesenberry and Geoff Lee. The bathrooms and kitchen were updated with high end fixtures and tiles in 2010. A new copper roof was installed in 2011. The central heat and AC have been meticulously cared for. In addition to the simple beauty of the house and the historic value, its greatest features are the unique amount of privacy from neighbors (surrounded by brick walls and lush growth the house is a fantastic place to entertain and has served as a creative retreat for several local and international artists and musicians) and its proximity to Downtown Louisville and Bardstown Road (five minute drive and walk respectively).
