1906 Farmhouse

Turn of the Century frame farmhouse located on 3.6 partially wooded acres. Convenient to Louisville via I-65 at Shepherdsville or Bardstown Rd at Mt. Washington. Three bedrooms, two full baths, large eat-in country kitchen, parlor, and screened/glassed back porch. Laundry room/pantry off kitchen. Downstairs bedroom has been used as a formal dining room. Root cellar/storm shelter. Large front porch. Original heart pine floors (under Berber carpet in upstairs bedrooms). Original doors, trim, and windows (with wavy glass). Three chimneys with stove flues. New red metal roof in 2002. Vinyl covered, but original clapboard siding appears to be in good condition if restoration is desired. Zoned heating/AC with new ductwork installed in 2000 (downstairs unit would easily support an addition to the house). New wiring and breaker box in 2000. City sewer. City water available but currently using well water (cold, clear, and no water bills). Old barn in poor condition and good smaller outbuilding (stable, garage, chicken house, or whatever). Two small ponds (one spring-fed). Fruit trees, berries, and great garden spot. Elementary school and middle school within one mile.
