Description
Welcome to the perfect blend of small-town charm and peaceful country living. Just around the corner from Stanford's historic downtown—where locally owned restaurants, boutiques, and community events create a warm, welcoming atmosphere—you'll find this beautifully maintained 1872 farmhouse nestled on just over 1.5 picturesque acres in the heart of Central Kentucky. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the timeless character of this historic home, thoughtfully complemented by tasteful modern updates that provide today's comforts (roof, a/c, water heater all less than 3 years old) while preserving its original charm. Rich in history and full of inviting spaces, this is a home designed to be lived in and loved. The main level features spacious living and dining rooms, a well-appointed kitchen with a conveniently concealed washer and dryer, a primary bedroom, and a full bath. Two additional flex spaces include a light-filled sunroom overlooking the peaceful backyard and a cozy den that's ideal as a home office, library, or sitting room. Adding to the home's historic appeal are both the original front staircase and a secondary rear staircase leading to the second floor. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The expansive primary upstairs bedroom includes a beautiful sun-drenched bonus room with abundant storage, while the spacious bathroom features a classic claw-foot tub. A second bedroom offers an ideal office or hobby space, and the third bedroom provides comfortable accommodations for family or guests. Outdoor living is just as inviting. A welcoming partial wraparound porch offers the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets, while the beautifully designed rear veranda creates an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the peaceful views of the surrounding acreage. An oversized detached two-car garage includes floored attic storage, providing plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, and seasonal items. Properties like this rarely become available—a historic Kentucky farmhouse offering acreage, privacy, and convenience just minutes from downtown Stanford. Experience the best of country living without sacrificing the amenities of town.
