About This Home

As of May 2026

At 545 Elm, you're not just buying a house, you're stepping into a home that blends character, function, and a walkable lifestyle in one of Northern Kentucky's most underrated riverfront communities. High ceilings, custom lighting, and original architectural details like pocket doors and French doors create a warm, elevated feel from the moment you walk in.
The kitchen is the kind that actually lives well, featuring a custom design with a brick accent wall, granite countertops, gas cooktop, and a center island with seating that keeps everyone connected. Just off the main level, you'll find the convenience you are looking for, including a main floor laundry and a half bath, while the full bath upstairs delivers a standout moment with a classic clawfoot soaking tub paired with a separate shower.
Outdoor living is at your fingertips, with a front porch offering river views and a newer porch roof, plus a deck that leads to a mostly level, fenced backyard, ideal for entertaining, pets, or simply having space that's hard to find this close to the city.
And then there's the lifestyle. Step outside and you're minutes from local favorites like C.P. Reeves Market, Ludlow Coffee, Ludlow Tavern, and Buffalo Bar. Morning coffee, dinner plans, and weekend hangouts are all within reach, giving you that walkable, connected lifestyle that's on your list right now.
You'll know you're home as soon as you walk through the door. When can you move in?
