HOME ARCHITECTURE This home is one of the earliest examples of the Tudor revival architecture style in the city of Louisville. Erected in 1896 by realtor W.C. Priest, with a first floor of yellow stone and a second floor of stucco, it was the first home built on Cherokee Parkway. The home sits just one block from Bardstown Road and one block from Willow and Cherokee Parks. NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION The Highlands is home to Louisville’s original “Restaurant Row” and is also known for local nightlife and shopping. The Cherokee Triangle Historic District of the Highlands is a vibrant walkable neighborhood located just a couple miles from the center of downtown Louisville. Adjacent to the dynamic commercial district of Bardstown Road, residents are within walking distance of a diversity of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, boutiques, antique stores, and amenities like the hardware store, grocery and book sellers. Mature trees, some one hundred years old, line the streets, providing shade and beauty. Historic homes reflecting an eclectic mix of architectural styles dot the preservation district. Styles include Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Neoclassical, Tudor Revival, Beaux Arts, and many more. Nearby, Frederick Law Olmsted’s Cherokee Park and Willow Park serve as an urban oasis for bike riding, walking, sledding and picnics. Begun as an early suburb of Louisville, the Cherokee Triangle reflects the successful efforts of this neighborhood to preserve its thoughtful historic design while still providing a cosmopolitan and forward-thinking place where Louisvillians can live, work and play. Cherokee Triangle is a thriving urban neighborhood with a rich heritage. The tree-lined streets, stone fences and brick alleys add to the character of this early city suburb. The historic district looks very much today as it did fifty, seventy-five and even one hundred years ago. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 4,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27131000/27130983/5ed1ae80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Parklike Estate in the Heart of Louisville w/Pool and Gardens -- Family Friendly Cherokee Seneca - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 145 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=27130983&PinnedHotelID=27130983&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111680000/111672300/111672264/80db1d2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW Bourbon Trail, Norton, Pets Allowed, Downtown Local Dining, Fully Loaded Prospect - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £625 includes taxes & fees 12 Nov - 13 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=111672264&PinnedHotelID=111672264&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91260000/91250200/91250182/0727652d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \*Highlands VIP 6BR | Hot Tub Putting Green Game Rm Cherokee Triangle - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=91250182&PinnedHotelID=91250182&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37020000/37010700/37010694/3b933f9d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### High Above Highlands large 6 bedroom home in fantastic urban area!
