About This Home
Nestled along one of Old Louisville's iconic wrought-iron gated walking courts, The Lux on Ormsby Ct. is a circa 1900 Tudor-inspired residence offering over 3000 square feet of timeless character, architectural detail, and flexible living space. Positioned at the end of the court with southern exposure, the home is filled with beautiful natural light throughout all three levels. Historic craftsmanship and Arts & Crafts influences shine through with quarter-sawn oak flooring, exposed beamed ceilings, pocket doors, stained and leaded glass windows, and thoughtfully preserved original details. The kitchen blends classic charm with modern functionality, featuring cherry-stained cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dark granite countertops, and a spacious center island designed for gathering and entertaining. Elegant formal living and dining spaces showcase intricate millwork, custom built-ins, decorative molding, and a fireplace centerpiece that enhances the home's warm and inviting atmosphere. One of the property's most unique architectural details is a concealed passage integrated into the kitchen cabinetry, offering access to the attached secondary living quarters. The attached two-story living space includes a private entrance, living area, full bath, spacious bedroom, and additional flex room — creating exceptional versatility for extended stays, creative workspace options, private guest accommodations, or supplemental residential use. The second level of the main residence features four generously sized bedrooms and an additional full bath, while the third floor offers dramatic ceiling lines, charming alcoves, built-in storage nooks, and flexible bonus space full of personality and character. Rich with historic elegance and remarkable architectural detail, this Old Louisville residence presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive property in one of Louisville's most beloved historic neighborhoods.
