About This Home
Welcome to 216 W. Esplanade Avenue, where classic Cape Cod charm meets space that's rarely found in the heart of the Iroquois Park area. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and over 1,800 square feet of living space, this home stands out from the competition with more than 700 additional square feet compared to many neighboring properties—all while maintaining an attractive price point. Inside, you'll find an inviting open-concept layout where the kitchen flows seamlessly into the front living room. A convenient breakfast bar creates the perfect spot for casual meals, morning coffee, or gathering with friends while entertaining. Toward the rear of the home, an enormous family room offers endless possibilities with room for both a large living area and dedicated dining space. Whether you're hosting holidays, movie nights, game days, or everyday life, you'll appreciate the flexibility this space provides. Do not miss the fantastic drop zone and laundry space. Keep what your family requires within reach, but out of sight. The home's four-bedroom layout is another rare find for the area, offering room to grow, work from home, host guests, or create hobby spaces. Outside, a backyard storage shed provides additional space for tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal décor. The property also backs to a school campus, creating a unique sense of openness with no immediate rear neighbors and added peace of mind that future residential development won't be built directly behind you. Location is the icing on the cake. Just minutes from the scenic trails, overlooks, golf course, and outdoor recreation of Iroquois Park, you'll also enjoy easy access to the concerts and summer events hosted at Iroquois Amphitheater. Dining and entertainment options abound nearby, including the revitalized Colonial Gardens destination featuring local restaurants and gathering spaces, plus neighborhood favorites like Vietnam Kitchen and the trendy food hall experience at Louisville StrEatery. Classic character, uncommon square footage, and an unbeatable South Louisville location—this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
