Description
Nestled in the heart of the desirable Camp Taylor neighborhood, this charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers the perfect blend of convenience, character, with an incredible backyard retreat. Located just minutes from every major interstate, you can be anywhere in Louisville in under 20 minutes while still enjoying the peace and quiet of a low-traffic street. Nature lovers will fall in love with the thoughtfully designed landscape. The no-mow front yard and low-maintenance backyard feature an extensive collection of native plants that attract countless butterflies, earning the home the nickname "The Butterfly House" among neighbors. Every fall, monarch butterflies fill the yard, while summer evenings come alive with an impressive display of lightning bugs. Three peach trees, a pear tree, and thornless blackberry bushes provide fresh fruit right at home. The self-sustaining backyard pond creates a thriving ecosystem for frogs, birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, which naturally help keep mosquitoes under control. Mature trees provide ample shade, while rain barrels help reduce water usage and keep landscaping costs low. Inside, you'll find updated LVP flooring, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, a brand-new refrigerator that remains with the home, and an unfinished basement offering abundant storage or future expansion potential. As a bonus, this home has exceptionally low utility bills. The privacy fenced backyard also features a detached storage building complete with a loft and covered side porch, perfect for hobbies, gardening, or additional storage. History enthusiasts will appreciate the original Camp Taylor WWI latrine slab, a unique piece of Louisville history that also provides an excellent foundation for a future patio, pool, outdoor entertaining space, or even a charming shed. This home is located within walking distance of the newly renovated Camp Taylor Pool and Park and, for peace of mind, sellers have maintained quarterly pest service during ownership. If you're looking for a home that offers convenience, sustainability, abundant wildlife, and a backyard unlike any other, this Camp Taylor gem is one you won't want to miss.
