    What's special

    Located on one of the most popular streets in the Cherokee Triangle, the elevator-equipped 1261 Willow Ave. is on the park side of both Grinstead Drive and Bardstown Road, nestled between Cherokee Park and Cave Hill Cemetery, two of the most spectacular pieces of land in the city. Entering the home you pass through a full-width screened-in front porch to a large living room with a wood burning fireplace insert. Entering from the rear you have access to the ground level elevator. Hardwood floors and classic millwork are throughout the home. As a bonus, artwork and cabinetry designed by Dave Caudill will remain both inside and outside. Off the living room are the light-filled dining room and a hallway connecting to the kitchen as well as the staircase, a side door and the spacious, unfinished basement. At the back of the kitchen is access to the 3-stop elevator: ground level by the garage, main floor and second floor. Off the kitchen is a fully accessible full bathroom with shower and laundry. Upstairs you'll find a sunroom with elevator access that leads into the main hall connecting 3 bedrooms and another full bathroom. Upstairs is the attic for additional storage. Behind the home is an enclosed porch, small deck and patio adjacent to the 1.5 car garage. Summertime is Willow Park Gazebo concert time on most Sunday evenings. This block of Willow Avenue also has an annual progressive dinner making it easy to get to know your neighbors. In the spring you're just two blocks away from the ever-popular Cherokee Triangle Art Fair. Plus, there's easy access to Bardstown Rd with some of the best shopping, dining and entertainment options in the city.
