AWESOME, Breathtaking, Enormous Richardson Romanesque Castle-like Mansion (w/ Carriage House), built C.1892 as the home of E.V. Thompson Jr. on S 3rd St's stately "Millionaire's Row" in the heart of Old Louisville. Similar in style to, and likely designed by the same architect as, the Conrad-Caldwell House on St James Ct. An intricately carved stone facade ushers you beneath a grand Roman archway, across a mosaic-tile threshold, and into a truly majestic Entry - the beginning of one of the best-preserved floor plans in the neighborhood, w/ some of the finest Original period details still intact. The main house has Never been Cut-up and offers huge rooms made for gathering, dual front and rear staircases w/ sweeping banisters, abundant, exquisite, irreplaceable stained and leaded art glass, millwork, pocket doors (5 sets on the 1st Flr alone) and fireplace mantels, all waiting to be admired again. Labyrinth-like basement w/ full bath, laundry and area that once served as a separate kitchen. Large, renovated 2-3 BR, 1 1/2 BA Carriage House (now rented for $1,125/mo, lease exp 7/31/2027) has a separate storage room (the former 1-car garage - alley and yard bay doors now walled-off). Separate driveway area w/ double gate off the alley accesses the spacious, fenced 1/3 acre lot. Used for several years before the current ownership as the offices of a professional engineering firm, the E.V. Thompson Jr. House now awaits its next chapter - and the right people to love it back to life. Needs work to return to its former glory, but the bones, the craftsmanship, and the history are all here. A truly special, once-in-a-generation property of architectural significance, seeking new appreciative stewards. Home qualifies for historic tax credits (for qualified restoration work) - current owners have already begun the process (ask Listing Agents for details). Sold As Is, Where is. No warranties given or implied. Buyers to do their own due diligence.

A landmark Old Louisville residence with the scale, history and presence that define Millionaire's Row. Built around 1900 and listed on the National Register, this home is known as the Prince Wells House, named for W. Prince Wells, the celebrated cyclist who later became one of Kentucky's earliest automobile dealers. His former residence remains one of the more distinctive homes along South Third Street, with what may be one of the grandest entrances in Old Louisville. Inside, the historic character is still very much intact. Original woodwork, grand staircases, pocket doors and architectural details have been preserved, while extensive recent improvements make the home far easier to live in than many properties of its age. The kitchen has been renovated, bathrooms have been updated, and and the primary bath features heated floors. Multiple working ventless gas fireplaces add warmth and function throughout the home. Major investments have also been made in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, gutters, waterproofing, insulation and other systems. A complete list of improvements is available with the listing. Outside, the property continues to impress with landscaped front and rear spaces, a hot tub, patios, a greenhouse and off-street parking secured behind a motorized gate. What makes this home especially compelling is the combination of preserved historic character and modern peace of mind. With extensive restoration already completed, select transferable warranties, and many of the costly systems already addressed, the ongoing ownership burden is unusually low for a large historic home. Historic presence. Modern comfort. Working fireplaces. Updated systems. Private outdoor space. Off-street parking. And a place on one of Old Louisville's most iconic streets. This is the kind of property that reminds you why Millionaire's Row earned its name.
