213 Mockingbird Gardens Drive, Louisville, Ky 40207

Set on approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds with private pool and outdoor oasis, this Mockingbird Gardens estate pairs timeless architecture and exceptional craftsmanship with modern upgrades. The grand foyer, exquisite staircase, and new architectural board-and-beam ceiling detail make a dramatic first impression, while soaring palladium windows fill the main level with light. New light and ceiling fixtures, black-painted trim and molding, and custom motorized window shades add modern sophistication to the home, while new carpet and updated fireplaces add comfort throughout. The soaring great room is anchored by the new floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace while towering two-story windows provide ample light and impressive views of the backyard and entertaining deck. The gourmet kitchen features GE Monogram appliances, a premium faucet with dedicated instant hot-water, walk-in pantry, and a large island with casual dining overlooking the patio and pool. Nestled down a corridor for added privacy, the first-floor primary suite is a luxurious retreat with limestone fireplace and direct deck access. The ensuite bath includes a spa-like steam shower and a large custom closet with built-in cabinetry and pull-down wardrobe lifts. An elegant formal dining room, spacious home office with built-ins, laundry/mudroom, powder room, and attached 3-car garage complete this level. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, two full baths, and an oversized playroom offer exceptional flexibility. The custom-created en-suite bedroom is a showstopper, with custom bunk bed, indoor swing, and two structural beams ready for swings and hammocks. A crawl-through passage connects the bedroom to the playroom, where a climbing wall, custom bookshelves, and seating inspired by a children’s science museum complete the space. Perfect for entertaining, the finished lower level features brick archways leading to the designer wet bar and spacious family room, plus a large exercise room, game room, and full bath. With room to grow, the home features ~1,000 square feet of unfinished storage space with direct stair access to the garage for added convenience- perfect for a live-in au pair or extended family stay. A geothermal system and partial foam insulation improve comfort and efficiency. Outside, the heated saltwater pool, ranging from 3 to 8 feet deep, features a custom slide with a black wrought-iron stair and railing, while a commercial-grade playground system provides endless exploring. This rare combination of craftsmanship, scale, and custom features would be impossible to replicate today at the same cost- a truly one-of-a-kind property in one of Louisville’s most desirable neighborhoods.
