The main hallway is defined by a gorgeous marble mosaic flooring, French doors that lead to the breathtaking patio and a sweeping staircase to the second floor. There is also a greeting parlor, a handsome library and an expansive and elegant living room. Additionally, there is an elegant formal dining room and sunroom. The estate includes a cozy family room which can also be used as a primary suite. Upstairs, there are 5 bedrooms with period en-suite bathrooms that must be seen to appreciate! This incredible estate also features a 2,000 ft.² glass enclosed entertainment area with a lap pool and bar area. This rare estate highlights all of the best that Louisville, KY has to offer.
