Situated on the north end of Chenoweth Lane in Saint Matthews, this 1940’s center-hall colonial awaits a new owner for it’s next chapter. The comfortable front porch with curved awning creates a beautiful entry to a traditional floorplan that’s been both preserved and reimagined for today’s Buyers. Refinished, original hardwoods stretch throughout, leading into a comfortable living space to the left. Here, a fireplace focal point and windows on three sides allow both coziness and comfort. A glass door leads into a smaller sitting room, perfect for home office or craft space.
Back through the entry hall, the kitchen has been given new life, with a redesign of the configuration and opening of the dining area to create one larger, open space with thoughtful storage and functional work area layout. A below-counter microwave keeps countertops clear, while a wall of built-in pantry offers incredible storage. The lighter cabinet color and glazed backsplash combine to make this space bright. The kitchen’s rear door leads to a surprisingly large backyard with patio, full privacy fence, and west-facing views, perfect for capturing Louisville’s summer sunsets.
The first floor is rounded out by a well-appointed half bath and a deep storage and coat closet.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is located on the north side of the home, and features large windows and a walk-in closet. Two other bedrooms on this floor are located across the landing, assuring privacy. The full hall bath pays homage to the era of the home with well-preserved original tile, but a large storage vanity and updated features allow this space to happily function in a modern way.
The basement offers additional finished living space currently functioning as a bedroom, and could allow for in-home gym space, home office, or a secondary living area. A new, full bath on this level has a step-in tile shower and storage vanity. Remaining unfinished basement space as well as a detached, one-car garage provide the storage needed for today’s homeowner, while updated water heater and new roof provide comfort and assurance for the lucky new Buyer.
With Chenoweth Lane’s current sidewalk installation project sure to increase ease and safety for pedestrian traffic in the area, as well as the access already available down the 42 and Frankfort Avenue corridors, the location- close to area schools and churches, as well as East End commercial space and shopping- will be hard to beat, and with the thoughtful renovation of the interior here, as well as new parking pad, both homeowners and guests are sure to be charmed.
