Perfectly situated and fully-equipped with a beautiful chef's kitchen, this house is the perfect place to call home when you are wanting to settle in and stay for a while. Downtown, the Highlands, the airport and most major hospitals are a 5-10 minute drive away. Those who work from home will love our workstation and very fast wifi. Disclaimer: There is an active security camera on the front porch and on the garage facing the alley that records audio and video. This 1945 cottage has been lovingly remodeled recently but still maintains much of its charm; including the original (and pretty squeaky!) oak floors. Kitchen: The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled with an eat-in bar that opens up to the living room. It is completely equipped for full meal preparation, including a microwave, 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, blender, toaster, coffee maker and all pots, pans, silverware and an instant pot! Living Room: The living room includes a flat screen tv with a roku ready to be connected to your streaming accounts. The powerful mesh wifi router sends strong signal throughout the property; even the front and back yards. Bedrooms: Each bedroom is equipped with a large closet, a ceiling fan, a dresser, and a queen size bed. Bedroom 1 measures 13'x12' and Bedroom 2 measures 12'x9' and includes a desk with an adjustable height sit/stand desk and monitor. Bathroom: The bathroom has a tub and shower and the hallway closet is equipped with extra towels and bedding items. Basement: Down the stairs is a surprisingly bright and open basement with a washer and dryer for the guests' use. Guests are welcome to use the open space for yoga and bodyweight workouts. It is also a great space for extra storage. Backyard: Hang out in the grassy backyard with the provided folding chairs. Guests will let themselves in using a keypad. The host will be available by phone or text at any time of day. You get the best of three worlds with the location of this house. Walk to Goss Avenue (Four Pegs, Nacht Bar, Eiderdown, and the Pearl are great) to experience where the hip locals go for food and drinks. Walk to quirky Barret Avenue for both classy and divey experiences (we enjoy Shopbar and Barret Bar). Walk a little farther or take a short drive to the Highlands, famous for its food and night life. We are also a 10 minute walk from the newly opened Logan Street Market, with all of its great local eateries and wares. For those seeking some nature, Cherokee park and its 409 acres of natural beauty and winding walking trails is a short 5 minute drive away. Explore the whole area and take in the beautiful historic mansions that surround it. All of the places listed above are accessible by foot. Downtown (including the local distilleries), NULU, Churchill Downs, and Old Louisville are all less than a $10 Uber or Lyft ride away. Another fun option for getting around is to pick up one of the scooter-shares. All four scooter-sharing brands can often be found within a short walk of this house (Bird, Spin, Bolt, and Lime).
