7 Maple Ct Louisville, KY 40214

Tucked into a walk-in cottage court off South 6th Street, this 1918 two-story is the kind of home Beechmont was built around -- front porch, original character, and a setting you won't find in many Louisville neighborhoods. The house sits in a beautiful pocket neighborhood in the Southern Heights preservation district of Beechmont, approached on foot from the court, with off-street parking at the rear. Inside, the floorpan is laid out the way older homes do it best: a living room anchored by a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a breakfast room off the kitchen that works as easily for morning coffee as for a desk nook. The primary bedroom and a full bath are both on the first floor -- a genuinely useful feature in a home of this vintage. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a half bath, each with its own closet with ample storage space. The HVAC, water heater, and roof are practically new, the kitchen and bathrooms have been recently updated, and the appliances are brand new. The unfinished basement houses the laundry and leaves plenty of room for storage or a workshop. Out back, a deck extends the living space into the yard. Out front, the covered porch faces the calm of the cottage court rather than the street. Minutes to Iroquois Park and the Olmstead-designed Southern Parkway, with quick access to to I-264 and a straight shot downtown.
