Description

An exquisite piece of St. Matthews history! The original farmhouse of Woodlawn Park, this craftsman-style bungalow was built by the Schuwey Family, skilled woodsmen by trade who emigrated from Switzerland in the 1930s; they designed and built this home adjacent to the historic Woodlawn Park Racecourse as their family dwelling, and it currently sits on the corner of Perryman Road and the street that bears their name, Schuwey Court. Solid and enduring, this home was designed with quality materials...An exquisite piece of St. Matthews history! The original farmhouse of Woodlawn Park, this craftsman-style bungalow was built by the Schuwey Family, skilled woodsmen by trade who emigrated from Switzerland in the 1930s; they designed and built this home adjacent to the historic Woodlawn Park Racecourse as their family dwelling, and it currently sits on the corner of Perryman Road and the street that bears their name, Schuwey Court. Solid and enduring, this home was designed with quality materials and craftsmanship, thick wooden beams, and Bedford limestone exterior walls, all firmly seated on a thick-poured cement basement. In addition to the Schuwey family, a total of three families have loved and have been served by this home since it was built in 1939. With 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home has been thoughtfully constructed, preserved, and renovated with built-to-last, charming details including covered front porch with swing, hardwood flooring throughout, spacious rooms with many windows to allow for ample natural light, and an artful wood-inlaid mantle on the wood-burning fireplace. A spacious living room, fully remodeled eat-in kitchen, formal dining room (currently used as a playroom), one of the five bedrooms (currently used as an office), and a full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs are four more bedrooms with hardwood flooring and the 2nd full bath. One well-designed feature of this home is that the rooms on both levels are centrally laid-out which makes for efficient traffic and air flow. The basement offers more living space and ample storage with built-in closets, shelves, and cabinets. In addition to the 3-car garage and fenced backyard, the outside is charmingly kept with a partially shaded deck, native Kentucky trees, and verdant gardens with flowers that are frequented by Monarch butterflies on their yearly migration! While situated in a peaceful neighborhood of St. Matthews, this home is conveniently located minutes from restaurants, shopping, schools, and expressways. Fun Fact: The front of the house, including porch and entryway, was used as a location in October 2016 for the upcoming film "Clovehitch," starring Dylan McDermott, which is said to release later this year! With appreciation for the thoughtful tradition established by the Schuweys, our family has had the joy of contributing to the home; updates include: Remodeled the eat-in kitchen with loving attention to the active household with white wooden cabinetry and pantry shelving, granite countertop, chic subway tile backsplash, and a large, beautiful, workhorse Italian fireclay farmhouse sink. Refinished main level hardwood floors. Added custom wooden window coverings to main floor bedroom/office. Refinished small upstairs bedroom. Restored front porch ceiling. Removed old basement carpet and tiling. Refinished original fireplace mantle. Installed beautiful custom wooden side door and repainted main floor exterior doors. Repainted wooden deck. New exterior and interior wall paint, light fixtures, and ceiling fans. In keeping with the tradition of the Schuweys who, as we understand, cultivated potatoes on this land, we established perennial flower, herb, and vegetable gardens in the permaculture style for ready, rich soil, minimal weeding, and a delightful space for birds, bees, butterflies, and children! Planted additional native Kentucky trees. This home has provenance of character and craftsmanship and is ready to be filled with light and love for many years to come!
