Property Description
Picture it... Hikes Point - 1948. Bardstown Road was still a sleepy two-lane highway. Hikes Lane cut through farmland dotted with cows and clotheslines while kids raced bikes past cornfields. The hum of the city was distant. This was country living on the edge of Louisville and a builder was putting the finishing touches on this lovely home, situated right in the heart of it all.
Flash forward and much of that farmland has vanished, replaced by cul-de-sacs, parking lots, and many more homes. But tucked quietly along Hikes Lane, this rare treasure remains: an acre of land, rich in history and full of potential.
If you've ever driven down Hikes Lane, you've probably seen the pink flamingo house. It's hard to miss. Outside you'll find mature landscaping and vibrant perennials that have been thoughtfully maintained over the years. The attached two-car garage adds convenience, while the expansive yard features a fenced dog run, a playground and enough room for more structures or anything else you can dream up. The home also has a brand new roof!
The captivating story and character of this home continues inside with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious second-floor primary suite with its own private balcony. The layout offers 1,656 sq ft on the main floors and 1,054 sq ft in the finished basement, giving you plenty of room to entertain or create a perfect studio, office, or playroom.
The owner, a professional painter, left their artistic fingerprint on every corner of the home with hand-painted dentil molding and custom touches throughout. While the home may need a refresh in places, what's here reflects a lifetime of love and creativity left as a legacy for the next owner to build upon.
Homes like this don't hit the market every day. Especially not in town with this much land. Bring your vision, your toolbox, and maybe a few more flamingos, and make a little history of your own.
