603 Rubel Ave, Louisville

Situated high, overlooking Rubel Avenue and the skyscape of downtown Louisville, this incredibly renovated, shotgun-style home is ready for a new owner to fall in love with her charm. Up the front stairs and into the front door, wide-open living space awaits and surprises; previous removal of an interior wall, and exposure of the original brick fireplace stack combines today's wanted airy and modern living spaces with reminders of the century-old architecture so renowned in these Highlands homes. The living space spans the width of the home, while wide-plank floors lead the way into the open and fabulous kitchen. Here, quartz counters, bright cabinetry, and stainless appliances combine with a statement hood and open shelving sure to please the most stylish home chef and entertainer. Coupled with the wide front windows and the light paint, this open concept main space stays bright and sunny, while light-blocking shades ensure privacy as well as regulation of temperature. Down the hall, just past a large pantry, the primary suite has space for a large bed and nightstands, and clothing storage is a breeze thanks to custom closet inserts. The attached bath has dual vanity and step-in shower with thoughtful tilework. Down a few stairs at the rear of the home, a full laundry room keeps this most daunting task comfortable, and a full hall bath- complete with tub/shower combo- ensure comfort and ease for any guests or additional housemembers. The second bedroom is found at the rear of the home, far from the primary suite for privacy, and could easily pull duty as a home office. Just outside, the current owners have expanded the decking, allowing for larger home entertaining space overlooking the two-car off street parking area. For those craving a home that's just a few short blocks from many of the area's most renowned festivals and celebrations, but far enough away to feel like the residential neighborhood that it is, this one may be the perfect answer to home. Located a short drive from downtown and our city's interstates, and so close to some of Louisville's favorite locally-owned restaurants and shops, all that our city has to offer is- quite literally- just outside the door.
