Description

Architecturally significant home designed by famed architect Frederic Morgan located in one of Louisville's most sought after locations. Revitalized 1938 Georgian Cape is one of few known remaining examples of Morgan's work. Morgan's attention to detail is evident throughout the home's interior and exterior spaces while his highly functional plan is the epitome of simple elegance.

Revitalized 1938 Georgian Cape is one of few known remaining examples of Morgan's work. Morgan's attention to detail is evident throughout the home's interior and exterior spaces while his highly functional plan is the epitome of simple elegance. Morgan was noted for his ''admirable'' design in the October 1939 issue of Architectural Forum, which featured a two-page article including interior and exterior pictures, blueprints, and material use. While under the current homeowner's watchful eye, extensive restoration and renovation work began late 2009. The new gourmet kitchen features space saving, high-end, energy efficient, appliances that are all nicely concealed behind faux paneled fronts as to maintain the appearance of a simple butlers pantry. The custom designed cabinets modeled after Morgan's originals are finished with an antique glaze inspired by Lord Snowdon's personal kitchen at his London residence. The chop block countertops complete the look while adding a patina that stone simply could not achieve. The first floor bedroom suite is fantastic with a barrel ceiling and versatile windows. The second floor suite includes a sitting room, the original hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, four generous closets, and seven windows with views of the front lawn, formal gardens, and rear terrace. This suite is composed of two of the original bedrooms and can easily be converted back if needed. Great care was taken to preserve the home's architectural integrity while seamlessly integrating these modern amenities. The result is a harmonious balance of old world charm and modern day convenience. The outdoor brick terrace has hosted dinner parties for 75! Located just a short walk to Alta Vista, Frankfort Avenue, Cherokee Park, Crescent Hill and Barret Middle School.
