They Don’t Make Them Like this 166-Year-Old Louisville Mansion Anymore

Rumor has it that Sunnyside is one of only two homes in Kentucky with cast iron that wasn’t donated to the war efforts during WWI. The sprawling wraparound porch dates back to 1854. It is easily one of the home’s most impressive features.

The home’s central hall and parlor floor plan is anchored by a wide hallway which enjoys plenty of natural light.

Elegant molding and a vintage chandelier add character to the spacious living room. The soaring gilt mirror was custom-built for the room.

The intricate mantel features figures and foliate patterns carved in Italian marble.

The wallpaper in the formal dining room shows a bucolic Southern scene.

You won’t find intricate millwork, built-ins, and an ornate ceiling medallion in just any ordinary library.

The home’s original kitchen has been modernized to include state-of-the-art appliances while maintaining its unique footprint and historic brick details.

The butler’s pantry right off the kitchen serves as a perfect bar area for entertaining.

The mosaic tile floor is the star of the first-floor sunroom.

A large, curved staircase leads to the home’s second floor.

This bedroom is just one of four rooms that comprise the sprawling master suite.

An old sleeping porch was converted into a sunroom for the master suite.

The one-acre property includes private gardens, stone pathways, and a gated courtyard with fountain.

The spacious carriage house guest suite sits above the garage.
