Property Description
A landmark Old Louisville residence with the scale, history and presence that define Millionaire's Row. Built around 1900 and listed on the National Register, this home is known as the Prince Wells House, named for W. Prince Wells, the celebrated cyclist who later became one of Kentucky's earliest automobile dealers. His former residence remains one of the more distinctive homes along South Third Street, with what may be one of the grandest entrances in Old Louisville. Inside, the historic character is still very much intact. Original woodwork, grand staircases, pocket doors and architectural details have been preserved, while extensive recent improvements make the home far easier to live in than many properties of its age. The kitchen has been renovated, bathrooms have been updated, and and the primary bath features heated floors. Multiple working ventless gas fireplaces add warmth and function throughout the home. Major investments have also been made in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, gutters, waterproofing, insulation and other systems. A complete list of improvements is available with the listing. Outside, the property continues to impress with landscaped front and rear spaces, a hot tub, patios, a greenhouse and off-street parking secured behind a motorized gate. What makes this home especially compelling is the combination of preserved historic character and modern peace of mind. With extensive restoration already completed, select transferable warranties, and many of the costly systems already addressed, the ongoing ownership burden is unusually low for a large historic home. Historic presence. Modern comfort. Working fireplaces. Updated systems. Private outdoor space. Off-street parking. And a place on one of Old Louisville's most iconic streets. This is the kind of property that reminds you why Millionaire's Row earned its name.
