531 N 44th St

Tucked away on a quiet street near Shawnee Park and the Ohio River, this fully renovated one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of modern design, efficiency, and low-maintenance living. One part tiny home, one part private retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly move-in-ready home unlike anything else on the market. Virtually every major component has been replaced or updated, including the roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, water heater, windows, flooring, kitchen, bathroom, lighting, fixtures, exterior doors, and appliances. Fully electric with an efficient mini-split system, this home was designed to keep utility bills, upkeep, and maintenance to a minimum. Inside, the open-concept layout makes the most of every square foot. Hardwood floors run throughout, while the beautifully updated kitchen offers generous counter space, brand-new appliances, and convenient access to the driveway for easy unloading. A loft above the bathroom and laundry provides flexible space for a guest bed, reading nook, home office, or extra storage. Outside, the striking matte green exterior and Japanese-inspired wraparound porch create an inviting indoor-outdoor living space that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Positioned toward the back of the oversized lot, the expansive front yard feels like your own private park. The peaceful setting overlooks the greenspace of Shawnee Golf Course and sits directly across from a community garden. Located just minutes from Shawnee Park, the Ohio River, Kroger, the public boat ramp, and quick access to I-64, you're only a short drive from both downtown Louisville and downtown New Albany. Whether you're looking for a first home, investment property, weekend getaway, or a stylish alternative to condo living, this thoughtfully rebuilt cottage delivers modern comfort with the ease of maintenance-free living.
