About 1740 Fernwood Ave
This stunning home blends historic charm with thoughtful, modern updates. A recent renovation was designed to feel like it's always been part of the home, from the stylish new kitchen with abundant storage to the custom built-in mudroom that keeps daily life organized and clutter-free. The finished basement offers even more living space, complete with a dedicated office, a playroom, an additional living area, laundry room, and a full bath — all ready to enjoy from day one. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are bright and inviting, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet. The first-floor addition was constructed with future plans in mind and is built to support a second-story expansion. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, a fenced-in backyard with a covered patio, and a rare parking pad for three vehicles. All of this in an unbeatable location. Walk to the Bardstown Road Farmers Market, local coffee shops, and some of Louisville's best restaurants. This is Highlands living at its best.
