About this property

The Sweet Spot! - Live Like a Local

About this space
Live like a local in one of Louisville’s most sought-after neighborhoods, young professionals and families alike. Rich in history and surrounded by wall-to-wall dining, shopping, and entertainment, this vibrant area is known for its charm, energy, and premium appeal. Originally built as a single condo over two decades ago, the owner later acquired the neighboring unit and completely reimagined the entire second level. The result is a thoughtfully crafted space that truly feels like a retreat.

The space
This stunning condo has been completely reimagined with no expense spared. Granite, Carrara marble, and high-end fixtures are thoughtfully and flawlessly integrated throughout the space. From the precisely executed wainscoting in every room to the exquisite appliances, era-correct hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and intuitive design touches, no detail has been overlooked.

The recently renovated primary bathroom alone represents an investment of over $30,000, adding to the overall sense of luxury and refinement. The living room features multiple seating areas and a large 55” TV with ROKU TVs, while two additional TVs are located in the primary bedroom and the kitchen at the Carrara marble bar. With mirrors throughout and three showers (2 full baths plus a half bath), getting ready for a night out is effortless—no waiting, no crowding.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath executive suite spans over 1,500 square feet and includes two master suites, each with its own private balcony, plus an additional beautifully appointed guest room. Designed for comfort, privacy, and style, this A-class property is ideal for couples, solo travelers, or refined groups seeking a truly unique short-term rental in Louisville’s most desirable and safest neighborhood.

🏠 Entire Private Floor
The condo occupies the entire upper floor of the building with no shared spaces. Once inside, everything is on a single level—no interior steps.

🛏 Sleeping & Comfort

All three beds are Tempur-Pedic for exceptional comfort

Peloton bike available in one bedroom

👶 Family-Friendly Amenities
This home is very kid- and infant-friendly and includes:

Door locks positioned high for child safety

High chair, pack-and-play, baby tub, outlet covers

Board games and additional family amenities

🪜 Entry & Access Details
There are four exterior steps with handrails leading to the central hallway entrance. Inside, two short stair sections (six steps each, carpeted, not steep) lead to the condo. The hallway and stairs are 36” wide, well-lit, and recently remodeled.

This is an exceptionally rare luxury property available for short-term rental in Louisville. Don’t hesitate—homes of this caliber are seldom offered.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The location, amenities and overall space were good. Small issues included the bedroom off the kitchen was uncomfortably colder than the rest of the space andno soap in the showers. More significantly, it was advertised as 2.5 bathrooms. We expected 3 toilets for the 3 of us but the half was a shower.
