A unique opportunity to own a charming, turn-key cottage in the established Camp Taylor community for under $200,000. Centrally located with convenient access to the Watterson Expressway and I-65, this distinctive home combines vintage character, thoughtful updates, and surprisingly flexible living space.
With its distinctive vintage cement-shingle exterior, well-maintained good roof, original wood-and-glass-pane front door, and a mix of sturdy original wooden windows and newer replacement ones, this home has a wonderfully solid, timeless feel. And it's clear it has been cared for along the way.
The screened-in front porch is perfect for plants, morning coffee, or simply enjoying Louisville's milder seasons. Ceiling fans are found throughout the porch, living room, primary bedroom, and kitchen.
Inside, the living room features laminate wood style flooring and overhead lighting, while the primary bedroom is tucked privately to the side. A good-sized dining room sits at the center of the home and flows into the custom-designed kitchen, which offers ample cabinetry, character, and a cheerful pop of color. A mudroom/laundry area at the rear provides convenient access to the backyard.
The spacious full bathroom was expanded during the current ownership and features a tub/shower combination. Another main-floor room offers flexibility as a bedroom, office, den, or creative space and provides access to one of the home's most memorable features: its quirky upstairs bonus area. This unexpected space could make a wonderful home office, sewing room, artist's den, hobby room, or guest space.
Fresh paint throughout, historic details, and thoughtfully designed interiors give the home a personality all its own.
Outside, the fully fenced, relatively low-maintenance yard leads to an oversized two-car garage that is truly a standout feature. Beyond substantial parking and workshop space with overhead lighting, the garage includes a large adjoining workroom, offering more flexible-use space. With appropriate zoning, permitting, and improvements, a future owner could even convert this large room to a studio for extra income.
Camp Taylor offers the feel of an established neighborhood with longtime residents and newer neighbors alike, while remaining wonderfully central to the rest of Louisville. Nearby are Camp Taylor Memorial Park — including its recently added neighborhood pool and outdoor exercise stations — along with grocery stores, restaurants, and convenient access to major roadways.
Additional improvements include a newer HVAC system, installed in 2021.
This home has been lived in and loved by its current owners for the past eight years. Now, as they move out of state, here is your opportunity to make this special house your own. With its historic character, creative spaces, substantial garage and workshop, central location, and unmistakable personality, this is a great home at a great price point, anticipated to sell quickly.
