"The Painted Lady"
You are not only getting a great Victorian home but a popular and beloved historic neighborhood that is “the best possible place” to be for Derby or any other event. Live, touch, and experience one of Louisville’s most popular and prestigious Victorian neighborhoods - the Original Highlands which had its first large mansion built in 1814. Stay in a real authentic Victorian neighborhood that is nearly 200 years old. See Wikipedia . While the first Kentucky Derby was 134 years ago, our wooden Victorian was built 115 years ago. The painted lady is awesome Victorian home with high ceilings, wooden floors, four fireplaces, exposed brick, lots of sunlight along with numerous updates including zone cooling, modern kitchen and bathrooms.. The painted lady is bursting with character and personality. Each room is decorated with bright pastel colors and original art from the Caribbean. You cannot beat the location, neighborhood or home. Indeed, this is Louisville’s most popular and beloved neighborhood known for its picturesque historic architecture. Visitors here are not only walking distance of gonzo writer Hunter Thompson’s childhood home and walking distance to Louisville’s most popular nightlife zone for locals.

Forget about the silly McDonald style houses for the same price in Louisville’s plain and boring out of the way suburbs!. This is the hip neighborhood in which to be. The painted lady was featured in New York Times, USA Today, Lane Business Report, Courier Journal and forthcoming scholarly book: Invisible City. Painted Lady was featured in community garden tour in 2006—its even better now!
