Carriage houses, backyard ponds and grand staircases: Check out these $1M+ Louisville homes
Some 40 homes listed at more than $1 million are on the market in Louisville, featuring sweeping lawns, high-end appliances, and rooms galore.
These four recently listed single-family homes are no exception. From a one-acre backyard pond to a grand foyer staircase, wood-paneled elevators, and carriage houses, these properties offer more than your typical home.
In October, homes in the greater Louisville area stayed on the market for a median of 13 days, a slight uptick from the single digits of the summer, according to the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors. The median sales price was $256,000, nearly unchanged from the same month last year.
