Reason for sale: Homes along the river don’t come up for sale that often. Ask the Stebbins family. This property has been in their family for nearly 60 years. However, due to the death of a family member they have decided it’s time to sell the property and let someone else enjoy it. Greg Stebbins said it well, “This property has been in our family for 60 years. Despite the occasional flooding, this home has provided over 3 generations of Stebbins’s family and friends with countless fond memories of family gatherings and celebrations and the plain joy of just living on the river. It’s now time to let someone else have those same opportunities.” They listed the property on the market for a brief time in April and May but to ensure a sale during prime river enjoyment time, they decided to auction the property so that whoever bought it would have time to enjoy it. The listing price at that time was $489,000. This is an Absolute auction and the property will be sold to the highest bidder.
Many folks take a vacation 1 or 2 weeks a year to be near the water - on a lake or a beach. Why not reverse that and be on the water 52 weeks a year. This home would make a great place for year-round living, or a week-end or summer vacation home, or perhaps a corporate residence for current and potential customers and clients, or a vacation rental.
Included with the riverfront home are 2 vacant lots behind the home. The 3 lots combined total almost 1.3 acres. The two lots behind the house come in handy if you need a place to park a boat or to accommodate overflow guest parking if you want to throw a big party.
The first floor of the house is one large room with a kitchenette, bathroom, and bar, ideal for a party room. The upstairs is the living quarters with 2 bedrooms, a bonus room facing the river that was used as a bedroom, a full bath, and open kitchenette and family room. There is also a large 16’ x 36’ deck facing the river. Now all you need is a 2-person swing to put in the front yard and you can let ol’ man river carry those troubles on down the river.
If you’ve lived in Louisville any length of time you know that the Ohio River is prone to occasional flooding including the River Road and Juniper Beach Road areas. People living on the river know it, expect it, and prepare to deal with it. Face it – if it floods you may have 2-3 weeks of negative inconvenience, but then you have 49-50 weeks of positive living. To quote Greg Stebbins, “Our Mother was a saint. When we had to prepare for flooding, she made a party out of it. It’s all about attitude.”
