    What's special

    Generous quarter-acre lotLarge detached storage buildingOriginal hardwood floorsDeep backyard
    Say hello to your next adventure in one of Louisville's coolest up-and-coming neighborhoods! This Beechmont beauty blends original character with smart updates, giving you a solid foundation to make it totally your own—an ideal find for first-time homebuyers or anyone searching for homes near Iroquois Park and the University of Louisville. The homeowners have taken great care of this place, and it shows. Recent updates include a beautifully renovated bathroom (2025), updated electrical panel (2026), new dishwasher and dryer (2026), chimney cap (2026) and updated windows (2018)—and as an added bonus, the sellers are offering an HSA Home Warranty to the buyer for even greater peace of mind. Original hardwood floors give the home warmth and personality the second you enter. The kitchen has a built-in pantry, great for food storage. The main floor features two bedrooms, while the spacious upstairs bedroom is a flex space with serious potential—comfortably fits two sleeping areas now, or dream bigger with a future dormer addition to create a primary suite or even two additional bedrooms upstairs. The partially finished basement adds bonus space for a hangout zone, home gym, or extra storage. Sitting on a generous quarter-acre lot, the deep backyard is made for good times, with a charming back porch off the kitchen for morning coffee and a second patio off the garage for entertaining. As a bonus in this price range under 200K in the Louisville area, let your creativity run wild with the large detached storage building in back—studio, workshop, or creative escape, the potential is endless. And the location? Unbeatable. Quick access to the Waterson Expressway puts downtown Louisville, the airport, University of Louisville's campus, and Iroquois Park all within easy reach—perfect for work, school, or weekend adventures. Spend your weekends exploring 725 acres of old growth forest and scenic hilltop overlooks designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted. Hike or bike miles of paved walking trails, tee off at the 18-hole golf course, challenge friends to a round of disc golf, or catch a summer show under the stars at the iconic Iroquois Amphitheater. Families will love the park's inclusive, ADA-accessible playground featuring swings, slides, and climbing equipment—all just a quick drive from your front door. This Beechmont home has been loved and lived in, and now it's ready for someone new to write the next chapter. Don't miss this South Louisville gem—come see the potential for yourself!
