Property details for 1618 Story Ave, Louisville, KY 40206

Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind historic brick Italianate residence in the heart of Butchertown, blending rich Louisville history with modern livability and rare flexibility of use. Believed to date back to the late 1800s and was once home to the original Delmont Club, a neighborhood social hub, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of the city's past while enjoying thoughtfully updated spaces today. Zoned OR-3, this property offers exceptional versatility—ideal for continued residential use, live/work potential (formerly a dentist office), or many other select commercial applications (buyer to verify; additional zoning information in attachments). You're immediately welcomed by a striking double-door entry vestibule framing the charming, rounded front door. Inside, the foyer showcases an impressive built-in mirrored bench, dramatic stairway with runner, and soaring 11.5-foot ceilings, which set the tone for the character found throughout. The first floor features wide plank wood floors, multiple fireplaces with original mantels, art rails, and beautifully preserved architectural details including pocket doors, bi-hinge French doors, plantation shutters, and 12" baseboards. The front living room and formal dining room flow seamlessly, creating ideal spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers a blend of charm and function with a central island, granite countertops, banquet seating, and adjacent first floor full bath, while the rear of the home provides additional flexibility with a lovely sunroom (perfect for a home office), secondary rear staircase, and a spacious mudroom/laundry area with prep sink and additional storage. Upstairs, you'll find generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with ensuite bath, a huge walk-in closet outside the secondary bedrooms, along with an expansive hall bathroom featuring heated tile floors, large vanity with plenty of storage, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The exterior continues to impress with a covered rear deck, fully fenced yard, and a coveted detached two-car garage (new garage roof, 2021) plus off-street parking for two additional vehicles. Additional updates include recent HVAC system improvements (main level A/C ~2023), recent soffit repairs, and a sewer line clean-out. Located in one of Louisville's oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods, just seconds from dining, shopping, Waterfront Botanical Gardens, Lynn Family Stadium, parks, and both Frankfort Avenue and downtown amenities. A rare opportunity to own a historic property with character, scale, and flexibility—this is Butchertown living at its finest. The property is primed and ready for your finishing touches.
