474 W Spruce St

Nestled at the end of a private drive on nearly half an acre, 474 Spruce is a modern craftsman farmhouse that combines timeless design, rare seclusion, and walkable access to the heart of Louisville. Coming to market for the first time in 22 years, this legacy property offers a truly unique lifestyle-private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, yet just blocks from Old Town, parks, trails, the Rec Center, and Louisville Elementary. Drenched in natural light and wrapped in windows, the home captures sweeping views of nearly an acre of protected city-owned open space that borders the backyard. The main level flows effortlessly between bright, airy living spaces, anchored by a designer-updated chef's kitchen with Wolf and Miele appliances-perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Custom wood plantation shutters, wool carpeting, and wooden garage doors are those special touches not to go unnoticed. A luxurious 5-piece primary bath and spacious bedrooms throughout offer comfort and elegance in equal measure.
Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and a generous loft space add volume, character, and flexibility-ideal for a second living area, library, or creative studio. Step outside to enjoy a covered back porch, custom patio, and built-in grilling station-framed by mature trees and lush landscaping that enhance the feeling of total privacy. The oversized 750 sq ft garage includes a second floor with potential to become a guest suite, office, or fully separate ADU-perfect for multigenerational living, rental income, or a private work-from-home space.Thoughtfully maintained by only its second owner, 474 Spruce is that rare combination of location, lot, and architectural quality that rarely comes along in Louisville. This private sanctuary offers the best of both worlds-tranquil living with unmatched access.
