About this home
Welcome to 1511 Rufer Avenue, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Louisville's history while enjoying the modern lifestyle today's buyers crave. Built in 1900 and designed in the classic camelback style, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends historic character with contemporary updates, offering an airy, light-filled environment in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the home sets a tone of charm and individuality, nestled on a tree-lined street in the Highlands, celebrated for its historic architecture, vibrant community, and unbeatable walkability. Just steps from Bardstown Road, you'll have some of Louisville's best restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and nightlife at your doorstep, and the current owner loves how walkable the home is to two Olmsted parks as well. Inside, soaring ceilings and skylights create an open, uplifting feel, while a decorative double-sided fireplace adds charm and architectural interest. The living spaces flow seamlessly, offering the perfect backdrop for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen is a standout with its GE Cafe
Series gas range, abundant cabinet and pantry space, and thoughtful layout, appealing to serious cooks and casual entertainers alike. Both bathrooms have been updated,
with one featuring a more recent renovation and the other refreshed with thoughtful improvements. Each of the three bedrooms offers flexibility and comfort, with natural light and high ceilings enhancing the sense of space. Outdoors, the fully fenced
backyard features a dedicated firepit area for gatherings and a large 16x20 shed with garage doors on both sides, allowing easy access from the alleyway or the backyard and offering exciting potential for conversion into a studio, workshop, or creative retreat. The property also includes convenient off-street parking, a rare find in such a walkable area. Known for being both historic and trendy, the Highlands offers quiet, tree-shaded streets, a strong sense of community, and easy access to parks and green spaces while keeping you close to all the energy of the city. 1511 Rufer Avenue isn't just a house it's a lifestyle, with a perfect balance of history, charm, and modern convenience in one of Louisville's most sought-after neighborhoods.
