LOUISVILLE, KY – Kentucky Select Properties, the top-selling 100% locally-owned and independent residential real estate brokerage in Louisville has listed ‘Cold Spring,’ the 6+ acre estate located at 1801 Sulgrave Road near Cherokee Park. With an asking price of $7 million it is currently the most expensive property for sale in Louisville and is being listed by Kentucky Select Realtor Joanne J. Owen.
Cold Spring is one of Louisville’s most historically and architecturally significant homes. The original house was built by Joshua Fry Speed and his wife Fanny Hennings Speed in 1867 at the edge of what became Cherokee Park. In 1911 the house underwent extensive renovations by the Buffalo, N.Y. architectural firm, Townsend and Fleming, transforming the simpler Victorian Speed home into an Italian Villa.
“Cold Spring is simply one of the most stunning properties in the Louisville area and it’s a tremendous honor to represent its sale,” says Joanne Owen of Kentucky Select. “This estate embodies the elegance and architectural character of Louisville at a particular moment in history and also represents a unique opportunity for a purchaser to be the next steward of both its preservation and evolution.”
At present the Cold Spring Estate consists of a completely renovated two-bedroom carriage house, the historic main house with unique and custom infrastructure enhancements throughout and the beginning stages of a backyard oasis. Rough-in work for electric, plumbing and a sophisticated geothermal system is in place. Opportunities for luxury and functionality continue throughout the exterior of property by way of a pool house, pool and spa, all in the initial structural stages and conveniently located just behind the main house.
“The main house, which has been preserved of its historic character and beauty, has also been dramatically enhanced with a ballroom and custom glass curtain wall system, says Amy Golladay, construction manager for the estate. “This allows the rich exterior wooded surroundings to come alive and compliment the inside space.”
‘Cold Spring’ was featured in Country Houses of Louisville 1899-1939 by Winfrey Blackburn and R. Scott Gill. To schedule an appointment to view Cold Spring, please contact Joanne J. Owen at 502-648-5330.
