3936 Druid Hills Rd

Over 80 years young, this St Matthews treasure embraces its heritage while offering the very best in modern living and design. 3936 Druid Hills Road has grown up in all the right ways, with an open floorplan, an expanded primary suite, and a sunroom with exposed beams. Yet the classics remain: hardwood floors, bedrooms on two levels, and dormers flanked by built in drawers. The arched openings and the original turned stair rail survived the renovation. The living room takes light from four windows and centers on a white mantel and firebox. Past it, the family room is framed by custom cabinetry and flanking bookshelves, and it opens straight through to the kitchen and dining area, an arrangement this neighborhood almost never offers at this size. The kitchen is white shaker with granite, glass front uppers, subway tile to the cabinets, and schoolhouse pendants over a gas range island that seats three. A sliding door leads out to the screened in porch, and beyond it the fenced yard, the hydrangeas, and a new concrete patio. This home features five bedrooms and three full baths. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit on the first floor, and that bath is the original black and white tile with a pedestal sink and a floor to ceiling linen cabinet, beautifully preserved rather than replaced. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the width of the house with a double marble vanity, hex tile, and a subway shower. The two remaining bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and window seats tucked into the dormers, plus their own private full bath. Laundry is conveniently located on the second floor. The basement is finished into two rooms, one a carpeted lounge with recessed shelving, the other open, plus unfinished storage. Outside, painted brick, black shutters, gas lanterns, and a lit portico give the front elevation a presence that holds up at any hour. 3936 Druid Hills Road is a special spot in St Matthews, with fun and convenience in every direction. The street itself is quiet, but you are only minutes from Brownsboro Road to the north and Shelbyville Road to the south. Central St Matthews and Crescent Hill are both a short drive, each with its own dining and small independent shops worth knowing. Schedule your showing for this spectacularly unique home today!!
