This Floral Terrace home is an oasis of peace within an oasis of peace. A repeat feature on the Old Louisville Hidden Treasures Garden Tour, the design and details of the exterior - from the spacious covered front porch overlooking the court's fountain, to the deck overlooking the pond, to the enormous private 2nd floor sun room - inspire tranquility and invite relaxation.
The Floral Terrace pedestrian court is itself a space of peaceful beauty and warm community. No cars to dodge, no grass to mow, no gutters to clean.
Leaving the court through the wrought iron gates on 6th, you are a block from Central Park - home to tennis courts, walking paths, playground, and festivals like Jazz in Central Park, KY Shakespeare Festival, and the St James Court Art Show. At the other end of the court is 7th St, leading to the Limerick neighborhood and quick access to Downtown.
618 Floral Terrace feels luxurious yet solid and comfortable. Blending the sturdy beauty of Craftsman architecture with modern amenities, you will enjoy beautiful hardwood floors, custom shelves / walnut cabinets and tile work, new Pella Architect Series windows, electric fireplace, heated flooring in the kitchen and 2nd floor baths, jetted tub and multi-jetted shower, 6-burner 42" gas range, wine fridge, convection microwave, home theater-style surround sound system, and plenty of storage with built-in shelving. The grounds of the 1.5 lot are gorgeous, with a side deck overlooking the Koi pond, landscape lighting and irrigation systems, a stunning and peaceful screened-in retreat over the carport, covered front porch with swing, and recently maintained trees. The internal systems have been updated and upgraded: 2 high-efficiency HVAC systems, updated electrical and plumbing, upgraded copper gutters and installed Gutter Helmet (never-clean gutter guard), extra spray foam insulation, remote control gates to private carport parking for 2 cars.
There is nothing to worry about or fix, the house has been designed and maintained for comfort and enjoyment.
What the owner loves about this home
I am a neighbor on Floral Terrace. Having lived here for nearly 50 years, I can speak to the incredibly unique qualities of this hidden treasure - it is a stellar community that values the peace and beauty of the court itself, as well as the individual neighbors who make it their home. I am a social person who enjoys the occasional neighborhood potlucks and all-out Halloween decorations and trick-or-treating. I am also a busy professional, and find all the down-time tranquility I need just by sitting on my front porch. Floral Terrace offers both community and privacy, neighbors and friends.
I bought 618 Floral Terrace with the initial idea that family might move there. (If that isn't an endorsement of this house and neighborhood, then I don't know what is!) Although that plan changed, I am still in love with this house - it is a stunning home with an excellent layout and great features, and it's in completely pristine condition. I'm looking forward to finding a new owner who will love the house and the community as much as I do.
