In the heart of Tyler Park is an unassuming 95-year-old bungalow that packs a punch with FIVE bedrooms and two full bathrooms! This Highlands home has fresh exterior and interior paint, new siding and new windows throughout. Enjoy the charming haint blue ceiling on the generous front porch before you enter through the cheerful front door. So many of the original architectural details, molding, and floors remain, beckoning to a time long gone when this area was part of the famous Olmstead Parks with its brand new trolley system. The living room with its brick gas fireplace opens up to the large dining room, roomy enough to accommodate cabinets and shelves to display your fine china or collectibles. Terracotta tile beautifully accentuates the kitchen and its new appliances and new Corian sink and countertops. Two first floor bedrooms, one of them currently being used as an office, share a guest bathroom that maintains a romantic clawfoot bathtub, marrying the old with the new. The second floor features a primary bedroom and a large hall bathroom, which includes a double-sink vanity, walk-in closet, and spa-like soaking tub. Two more bedrooms are located on the second floor. The partially finished basement encompasses another family room, a play area, exercise area, and laundry area. The basement has been waterproofed, and there is a transferable warranty to pass on via Highland Waterproofing. Enjoy sunset vistas from the large deck in the backyard with views of the scenic, park-like cemetery. Don't let the normal fuss of a cemetery fool you out of what this one has to offer. It is an historic memorial to many prominent Louisvillians, and this proud piece of Louisville's heritage is matched by its natural beauty. It offers a quiet and peaceful backdrop unavailable elsewhere inside the city, and is separated by the gorgeous historic limestone wall providing a lovely partition that is pleasing to the eye. The detached 1.5-car garage, garden beds, and a playground finish out this backyard. This home also boasts a new efficient gas furnace, a new electric smart water heater, new gutters and downspouts, a radon mitigation system, an MSD back-flow prevention system with sump pump, and added French drain and exterior drainage system and a new wood fence on the west side of the property. The SimpliSafe home security system remains with the home, and for the work-from-home crew, AT&T high-speed gigabit internet is available. Surrounded by green space, parks, restaurants, shopping, and more! Very walkable, bikeable, and easy access to Bloom Elementary and transit services, Edward Goddard, the namesake for the builder of this section of Tyler Park, would be proud!
