This beautifully appointed three-story home has five bedrooms, four full and two half-bathrooms, workout room, huge game room with pool table, bright sun room and large private pool in a beautifully landscaped backyard.

Built in 1901, Roseheights was designed by the same architects who built the famed Twin Spires at Churchill Downs. Previously owned by the Mayor of Louisville and Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, this prestigious home has been host to many notable figures in U.S. history, including Pulitzer Prize winning writer Carl Sandberg, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Presidential Candidate Adlai Stevenson, and Presidents Truman and Johnson.

Roseheights sits on the edge of one of the region's prettiest parks, Frederick Olmstead-designed Cherokee Park. Additionally, the house is a short 15 minute drive from Valhalla Golf Course, 10 minutes from Churchill Downs and just blocks away from some of the best restaurants in the city, including the ever-expanding "urban bourbon" trail.
