About this home

Historic Luxury Home with Private Guest Suite / Income Potential!!! Nestled along one of Old Louisville's iconic wrought-iron gated walking courts, The Lux on Ormsby Ct. is a circa 1900 Tudor-inspired residence offering over 3000 square feet of timeless character, architectural detail, and flexible living space. Positioned at the end of the court with southern exposure, the home is filled with beautiful natural light throughout all three levels. Historic craftsmanship and Arts & Crafts influences shine through with quarter-sawn oak flooring, exposed beamed ceilings, pocket doors, stained and leaded glass windows, and thoughtfully preserved original details. The kitchen blends classic charm with modern functionality, featuring cherry-stained cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and dark granite countertops. Just beyond the kitchen, a whimsical interior door leads to an additional, nearly self-contained living space tucked alongside the main residence. With its own private exterior entrance and a layout that feels distinctly separate from the primary living areas, this space creates exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, multigenerational living, a private home office, or potential income-producing use. Enjoy the convenience of separate living while maintaining direct interior access to the main home when desired. The location further sets this property apart. Situated in the heart of historic Old Louisville, the home is ideally positioned near beautiful Central Park and convenient to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, and the area's renowned historic architecture. Downtown Louisville, NuLu, hospitals, universities, major employers, and many of the city's most popular destinations are just minutes away, adding to the property's appeal for both everyday living and potential rental opportunities. With over 3,000 square feet, multiple living areas, flexible guest accommodations, laundry options, abundant natural light, and extraordinary historic character, The Lux on Ormsby Ct. offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with personality, versatility, and potential. Live beautifully in the main residence while taking advantage of the additional private living space for guests, work-from-home needs, or supplemental income. This is not your average Old Louisville property. Schedule your VIP tour today!
