This house was built in 1867, just two years after the end of the Civil War in Louisville’s original meatpacking district, Butchertown. Butchertown has a rich German history of butchers, brewers, and other notable early American professions. Today, the neighborhood is still home to many historic attractions such as the Thomas Edison House.
Our Butchertown Louisville rental is in a prime location, within walking distance to waterfront park, the Lynn Family Stadium, and a 5-10min drive to NuLu, the Yum Center, Downtown Louisville, Kentucky Expo Center, and Churchill Downs. It’s also walkable to many restaurants and bars including Sergio’s World of Beers (Louisville’s original craft beer bar & store), Pizza Lupo, Chik’n & Mi, Enso (Southern inspired Japanese),Vernon Lanes (one of the oldest bowling allies in the US!), Apocalypse Brew Works, The Mellwood Tavern (Fried Chicken on Tu & Th) and many more. Butchertown Market has great shopping at Work the Metal and be sure to tour Bourbon Barrel Foods, an artisan food company known for making small batch soy sauce and other bourbon inspired food products. The Mellwood Art Center and Mellwood Antiques & Interiors is also around the corner. You can also step out the front door and bike or scooter your way to the Butchertown Greenway which takes you directly to the Ohio River, or you can walk your way to the Waterfront Botanical Gardens. There's plenty to do and see!
The house is stylish well equipped. Pots, pans, a full line of Bourbon Barrel Foods products! Lush towels, great sheets, and plenty of pillows. King sized bed and a queen sized day bed at opposite end of house.
