1252 Eastern Pkwy Louisville, KY 40204

This Louisville ''Grand Dame'' has the elegance and sophistication of a home built in the late 20's yet the desirability of a highly sought after open floor plan. The added bonus of a private, no outlet back entry gives this home the advantage of a showcase home from the front but the convenience of entry for family and friends in a private setting. Set along the prestigious line of Eastern Parkway Castleton homes, the gentle slope of the lot shows off one of Louisville's classic, prestigious homes. Entering from the front slate porch, you transcend into the elegance of the stately home. The long, wide living room includes refined details such as hardwood inlay floors, double windows, specialty lighting, French doors and a grand fireplace framing the gracious formal room. Across from the living room is a grand dining room, flooded with light from the double windows and blending both timeless décor of inlay wood with contemporary updates such as dramatic lighting. From both dining and living room, you can enter the kitchen and great room which extends the entire back of the home. Surprising for a home of this age is the open floor plan of the kitchen into the family room. The eat-in kitchen is wide with creamy cabinets, neutral granite countertops and high-end stainless GE appliances. An eat-in area, a dedicated desk area and large working island ensure there is plenty of room for friends and family to move about where everyone gathers. Opening into the family room with a dramatic decorative wall and gorgeous fireplace, the family room and kitchen area are the perfect setting for cozy family evenings or entertaining. There are two entrances to the spacious back deck leading to the fully fenced backyard, large garage and parking spaces off the private, no outlet entry. Finishing the first floor is the half bath of polished marble and dramatic navy accents. Upstairs, continue to be amazed by the massive square footage. Wood floors lead to three large bedrooms, a dedicated office and a gorgeous full bath of marble with built-in linen area. The bedrooms all have sizeable closets and even the office has surprising storage built in. Off to its own corner of the home is the generous primary suite. You immediately feel the stress of the day melt away when you enter the comforting room with creamy hues flooded with light from the backyard. The primary suite has two walk-in closets for convenience! The primary bath has double vanities as well as a full tub/shower combo framed with neutral tile.
The tour continues as you head downstairs to the finished basement. A cozy entertainment room and area currently used as a playroom greet you as you descend. Around the corner the massive laundry room is ready to take on the task with ease. A convenient half bath is attached to the laundry and the huge exercise room ready for even the most active athlete.
