Located just blocks from Central Park, a 4-bedroom, 4-bath house in Old Louisville is doing numbers on the Instagram account Zillow Gone Wild. We’re talking over 13,000 likes and 360+ comments.

So what’s all the fuss about? Here’s the fast facts about the viral home:
  • 2,875 sqft spread across three floors on a 0.17 acre lot
  • Asking price: $735,000
  • A floating staircase to all three levels framed by exposed brick
  • Private office with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves
  • An indoor garden in the primary suite
A small library set off from a hallway, at the end of which is a grandfather clock. The library has a black desk with a small red chair.

City Editor Declan is daydreaming about filling these bookshelves with their own collection.
