The seller's artistic flair shines throughout the space with open display shelving that beautifully showcased her collections of pottery, baskets, dinnerware, and even spices as part of the décor. Stainless steel appliances including the refrigerator and range remain, along with the built-in dishwasher. Two oversized windows flood the dining area with natural sunlight while offering picturesque views of the colorful side yard landscaping and seasonal blooms.

The rear Bedroom features hardwood flooring, closet space, and a decorative narrow accent window that adds character and charm. The back entry door leads directly to the covered 10' x 16' deck where you can relax and enjoy the fragrant wisteria climbing the deck post, bursting with gorgeous lilac blooms during the season. The private backyard offers a peaceful retreat with perennial landscaping, winding walkway, and beautiful greenery that promises colorful surprises throughout the summer months. One of the property's most unique and exciting features is the finished Back House — a truly special bonus space filled with charm and versatility! Beautiful wood flooring, a quaint entry area, loft nook perfect for reading or relaxing, large picture window for natural light, and dramatic arched mirrors create a warm and inspiring atmosphere. Over the years, the seller has used this space as an office, art studio, children's playroom, guest room, and private retreat. Equipped with a Mini-Split Heat & Air system (approximately 10 years old), this space can easily adapt to fit your lifestyle needs. The dehumidifier remains with the property. Additional features include a cellar-style basement accessed from the rear deck, housing the mechanical systems while also providing additional storage and potential storm shelter space. The Furnace and Water Heater were replaced in 2016. The seller states street parking has never been an issue and truly loved the convenient Highlands lifestyle this location provides. The fact that the home does need some repairs has been reflected in the pricing, creating an incredible opportunity for a buyer to build equity and personalize this charming Highlands gem. Priced at only $200,000, this is absolutely something to talk about and a rare opportunity to own in one of Louisville's most sought-after neighborhoods! Hurry, this one is going...Going...GONE fast!
