About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to a timeless treasure in the heart of St. Matthews, one of 14 exquisite homes crafted by renowned architect George Alt in the 1920s. Nestled on one of the most coveted streets and blocks in St. Matthews, this Tudor cottage-style residence exudes storybook charm with its stone and stucco facade, peaceful tree-lined setting, and inviting sidewalks. Step inside from the covered front porch to discover over 2,000 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The main level boasts stunning hardwood floors, a large foyer with a convenient half bath and closet, and opens into the dining room with a bay window and space for a six person dining table. The spacious living room enchants with its vaulted ceiling adorned with wood beams, a grand fireplace with a detailed wood mantle, and abundant natural light streaming through numerous windows. A floating balcony with intricate wrought iron railing adds a touch of elegance. The galley-style kitchen is a culinary delight, offering a breakfast bar, dark wood cabinetry with ample storage, quartz countertops, white subway backsplash tile, and stainless-steel appliances, including a Samsung gas range, Bosch dishwasher, built-in microwave and double door refrigerator. The first-floor primary bedroom is a serene retreat with two double door closets and an en suite bathroom featuring tiled mosaic flooring, a marble topped vanity, and a shower/tub with onyx tiled walls and octagonal accent window. Through the sliding glass door of the primary bedroom is a large, screened-in porch with ceiling fan, also accessible from the back deck, and is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or entertain guests. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, two with carpet and one with cork flooring, and a full bathroom off the hallway showcasing tiled mosaic flooring, shower/tub with marble subway tile and another octagonal accent window. The expansive unfinished basement offers a laundry area (washer/dryer to remain) and ample storage space. Outside, the fully fenced back yard is a private oasis with mature landscaping, a back deck, patio space, and a 1.5 car detached garage. Modern comforts include two furnaces, two A/C units, and replacement windows throughout. Conveniently located near the vibrant shops, dining, and attractions of St. Matthews, this home is a true gem. As highlighted in a Courier Journal article, the 500 block of Wendover is 'a bright and happy place to live'. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in this enchanting neighborhood.
