Crystal chandeliers and grand foyers: Check out these four $1M+ homes for sale near Louisville
Luxury real estate in the greater Louisville area is often marked by large lots, extravagant features, high-end finishes and plenty of square footage.
These homes, listed at $1 million and above, were recently put up for sale and feature no shortage of elevated features.

The median sales price was $262,000, a bump from the nearly $243,000 median at the same point last year.
From a crystal chandelier to in-ground pools to towering windows, these four properties offer much to talk about.
