1217 Garvin Pl Louisville, KY 40203

Welcome to 1217 Garvin Place, a unique and charming home situated on a tree lined street. Gated at one end, Garvin Place is a quiet oasis in the heart of the Old Louisville Historic Preservation District. According to records, the home was the sole Queen Anne style residence built in this district at the time. As such, it is rich in eclectic architectural elements that bring interest to every space of this 3-story home. The unique nature of this home is evident from the street - a gated front garden, interesting mix of materials, and the covered front porch with colorful turned posts and clever design that provides privacy from the alley. With over 3200 finished square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, spread over 3 floors, this home lives large. As you enter the home, the foyer and picturesque staircase create a gracious atmosphere that allows you to envision welcoming your friends and family into your new home. Period details including original hardwood floors, millwork, paneling, and the gorgeous stairwell highlight the detailed craftsmanship that can be found throughout the home. The foyer opens into the sun-filled living room at one side, and also leads to the kitchen at the rear of the home. The living room opens into the dining room through functioning pocket doors. The spacious dining room is perfect for large dinner parties, with room for a 12-person table and finished with built-in bookshelves along one wall. In addition to an exterior door to the patio, off the dining room is a hallway that leads to a full bathroom and the kitchen. The updated kitchen features large windows, custom cabinetry, granite countertops with matching single slab granite backsplash, deep basin stainless steel sink, induction range, integrated Bosch dishwasher, and an appliance cabinet designed to keep your countertops clutter free. The stairwell features both formal front staircase and a utilitarian back stair that meet halfway up to the 2nd floor. Open to the 3rd floor and featuring large windows, this well-designed space is bright and airy. The second level includes three large bedrooms, all with decorative fireplaces and abundant natural light. A conveniently located laundry room, bathroom, and water-closet are located at the end of the hallway. The third level combines a sitting room with another bedroom that can also serve as a hobby or bonus room and features a large sink with butcher block counter. Both of these spaces also include decorative fireplaces and additional storage behind the knee-wall. The third full bathroom is adjacent to this space. A rare find for this area, the back yard is spacious and features a lush garden with brick patio, koi pond and a brick-paved walkway to the detached two car garage with room for an additional fenced parking space.
