Introducing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine a true Louisville estate. Set on 1.56 acres in the heart of the city, 1029 Alta Vista Road spans over 6,100 square feet and offers the architectural scale, presence, and pedigree rarely found today. Originally constructed in 1930 and held by the same family for over four decades, the home has been incredibly well maintained, preserving its integrity while presenting a blank canvas for the next chapter.
