Historic Highlands Home in Cherokee Park with or without optional Guest Suite

Welcome to our charming duplex in the heart of Louisville's Highlands neighborhood, a vibrant area known for its unique mix of antique shops, elegant architecture, and upscale dining. Step back in time as you enter this beautifully restored 1900s home, featuring elegant chandeliers, original decorated wood floors, and gilt-framed artwork. The living area boasts impressive decorative fireplaces with pillared surrounds, adding to the historic charm.

This home is a duplex, so the upstairs may be rented during your stay. We are registered to host 6 people max in each unit. You do have the option of blocking off the upstairs unit from being rented if you reserved the main unit first. Otherwise, please know that there will be guests above you. The upstairs guest suite is accessed by an exterior staircase only, with its own entrance and is not accessible from inside the main downstairs unit. It is a true duplex. You will be in the main, and more desirable, downstairs unit, which is equipped with 1 full bath and one half bath. Plus, you will have access to the basement where the laundry is, as well as an 86" smart TV and heated floors in the winter.

Located within walking distance to all major restaurants and entertainment, our home is the perfect hub for exploring everything the Highlands has to offer. Enjoy people-watching from the porch during iconic events like the Kentucky Derby, with a neighborhood festival and live music on Derby Eve. The area is pedestrian-friendly and safe, making it ideal for leisurely strolls to discover the neighborhood's cultural and culinary delights.

For nature enthusiasts, Cherokee Park and Cave Hill Cemetery are nearby, offering picturesque landscapes and a glimpse into Louisville's history. Wildlife lovers will appreciate the park's natural beauty and the opportunity to explore its trails. Birdwatching and picnicking are popular activities in this serene setting.

Back at the house, the backyard is a beautiful spot for guests to relax. Keep an eye out for our resident blue heron, who occasionally catches goldfish from the pond. We frequently have to buy new goldfish because of the blue heron's antics. There is also a naughty squirrel in the backyard who digs in the plants, chews on hanging lights, and removes stuffing from chair cushions.

We offer off-street parking in the driveway, which can hold several cars as long as they are smaller because the driveway is very narrow. Guests need to make sure not to block the sidewalk.

If you do have a larger group, be sure to check out our option for renting both the main unit and the guest suite. Alternatively, feel free to message us with any questions or special requests. We look forward to having you stay with us!
