Unrivaled heritage and provenance as the original home to occupy the Cannonshire neighborhood, originally built in 1900. In its fascinating history, in 1930 this was used as the location of the first private preschool in Louisville, founded by Agnes Porter Sawyer, kin to E. P ''Tom'' Sawyer, and was successfully operated here for 25 years. Originally nestled on 20+ acres, this farm was parceled off in the 1950's to give way to what now comprises Beals Branch Road and the surrounding streets to Seneca Park. This bespoke Dutch Colonial Revival is a praiseworthy example of bygone architectural detail, with ceilings ranging from 10-14 feet, intricate moulding and trim work, (some base board trim work standing proud at over 20" tall), NEW clay tile roof and copper flashing completed 10/1/22 at a cost close to $100k and set to last another lifetime, and boasting 4 fireplaces throughout, the grandeur of this home is truly unparalleled. With close to 6,000 square feet on the first and second floors, 7 bedrooms, and 3 full baths, the living possibilities are truly endless. 2 separate entry foyers that lead into sweeping views of both the masterful formal living and dining room, with seating for up to 14. Having seen the grandest of Gatsby era dinner parties in this space, and ready for the next revival, your mind can only begin to wander back to the roaring 20's when touring this historic home. Banks of windows flood the Florida room with light, boasting original millwork and tile, currently connected via French doors to one of multiple primary en-suite possibilities this home has to offer, the configurations are endless. Expansive eat-in kitchen, all open to the informal dining room, complete with its own fireplace and built-in shelves. The 2nd floor comprises of 4 generous bedrooms, one being the pièce de résistance, a former ballroom, with 1200 square feet, 14' ceilings, multiple chandeliers, a roaring fireplace, separate HVAC, and boundless connected closets/rooms that would make the perfect location for both a walk-in closet and en-suite primary bath. See the virtual rendering photos, the grandeur of this as a primary bedroom would rival homes 5x the price, absolutely unmatched in scale. An absolute rarity, this home offers two driveways, one having the 2 1/2 car garage that also received a new roof this year. Large deck off of the kitchen for entertaining and renderings show multiple outdoor green space possibilities adjacent. With recent capital expenditures including the new clay tile roof and updating to the 3-zoned HVAC systems, exterior painting restoration, this home is truly ready for move in or the next owners personal touches. Own one of the most iconic and historical homes in the area, call today for a private tour!
