Property details for 715 Alta Vista Rd, Louisville, KY 40206

Tucked just steps from Cherokee Park in the heart of Louisville, this extraordinary historic residence—The Louis Seelbach House—offers a rare opportunity to own one of the city's most architecturally significant homes. The current owners have undertaken a meticulous restoration, thoughtfully reviving original architectural details while incorporating modern conveniences. Their work reflects a deep respect for the home's history, resulting in a seamless blend of authenticity and livability. Originally constructed between 1912 and 1914 for Louis and Marie Seelbach and designed by the notable firm McDonald & Dodd, with landscape design by the Olmsted Brothers, the property pairs rich heritage with refined, modern updates. The home is situated on an acre of land and features a total of 8 bedrooms, 7 full and 1 half baths. The primary residence includes 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, along with an attached, renovated 1 bedroom apartment with a full bath and private entrance. A detached carriage house offers an additional 1500+ square feet of living space perfect for guests, multi-generational living, recreational or office space with a bedroom and full bath plus a full kitchen and an impressive combined living and dining room while a 3-car garage and additional storage sits below. Architecturally striking, the residence showcases a beautiful blend of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival influences, highlighted by a grand two-story portico with fluted Corinthian columns, classic brickwork, and timeless detailing throughout. Inside, elegant living spaces include a gracious central hall with a sweeping staircase, a richly appointed living room, a refined dining room, and an intimate library with custom millwork. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring extensive and period-inspired inset cabinetry, high-end appliances including a Lacanche range crafted in France and Sub-Zero refrigerator and a stunning center island custom crafted of walnut with brass inlay. The adjacent butler's pantry is both functional and beautifully designed, offering high-gloss cabinetry, hidden locker-style storage, and a fully equipped entertaining space with a wet bar, ice maker, second dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer drawers all atop a custom-designed tile floor. Two light filled sunrooms and a comfortable family room complete the main level. Upstairs, the second floor offers exceptional bedroom accommodations, including an expansive primary suite with a luxurious bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower, Waterworks fixtures and a brass-legged double vanity with marble countertop. The adjoining former 7th bedroom has been transformed into the primary closet. The laundry room is located on this level. Additional square footage on the third floor (including a full bath) and in the lower level provides endless possibilities for various needs. Today, the Louis Seelbach House stands as a remarkable testament to Louisville's architectural heritage—gracefully preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern living. With its unparalleled location, rich history, and masterful restoration, this is a truly once-in-a-lifetime offering for the discerning buyer seeking a legacy property of enduring beauty and significance.
