Wilson Way builds in St. Matthews.
Mid-century homes, walkable business district, two-person-bathroom-gut city.
Why St. Matthews homes are different.
Largest concentration of post-war ranches and split-levels in the metro.
Wilson Way context: Walnut master bath gut remodel (2025), powder room refresh (2024), second-story addition over garage (2024), ranch conversion to open floor plan (2023). St. Matthews has the highest concentration of 1960s-70s ranches in the metro — homes where the original floor plan separated the kitchen from the living areas with a wall. Most of our St. Matthews projects are structural removals to open the main level. The walkable business district along Shelbyville Road means many homeowners add mudroom entries. We have done 40+ projects in St. Matthews over 5 years. Permits: Louisville Metro Department of Codes & Regulations (St. Matthews is unincorporated Jefferson County).
We have been building in St. Matthews for years. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the local supply yards, and the trades. That means faster timelines, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for your project.
