    Refinished hardwood floorsWelcoming front porchCovered rear deckFlexible living spaceFully fenced backyard
    Welcome to 955 Ellison Avenue, a charming shotgun home located in the heart of Germantown, where character, walkability, and opportunity come together. Offering 1,052 square feet and priced at just $190/square foot, this property delivers exceptional value in one of Louisville's most sought-after neighborhoods. The home features one bedroom and one full bath, plus an additional flexible room that can easily serve as a second bedroom, office, den, or dining space. Refinished hardwood floors flow through much of the home, and a beautifully detailed fireplace anchors the main living area with classic Germantown charm. Outdoor spaces are just as inviting, with a welcoming front porch and a covered rear deck overlooking a fully fenced, low-maintenance yard. One of the true standouts is the oversized, newer-construction two-car garage, complete with an automatic door and an upper-level office and storage room. A feature like this would cost an estimated $30,000 to build today, making it a rare and valuable asset in this location. The home does need some TLC and is being sold AS-IS, with the seller making no repairs, offering buyers the chance to add their own finishing touches while building equity. Perfectly situated just steps from Germantown favorites like Nachbar, North of Bourbon, Kaiju, and The Post, this home offers the lifestyle buyers loveat a price point that stands out.
