Descriere
The Scott House - A Kentucky Landmark Step into history with The Scott House, a designated Kentucky Landmark and proud listing on the Jessamine County Historic Registry. This remarkable property is the second-oldest log structure in Jessamine County. The original 1792 log structure, now serving as the kitchen, showcases hand-hewn mahogany beams and walls. A loft above the kitchen (approximately 250 sq. ft.) features original floors and banister, offering a unique space with endless potential. The kitchen and adjoining utility room have been completely rewired, preserving the charm of the past with the convenience of modern updates. The 1830s addition, currently used as a dining room, features an original fireplace with oak mantle and irreplaceable tile-valued at over $10,000. The front Colonial section, built in the 1890s, completes the home's architectural evolution, blending early frontier design with classic 19th-century style. Throughout the home, you'll find original moldings, woodwork, and glass windowpanes. The foyer staircase retains its original banister, and the home's rich history includes use as a Civil War hospital. The property was originally Mr. Scott's 18th-century law office, giving this home deep roots in Kentucky heritage. Outside, an original brick smokehouse foundation has been transformed into a beautiful garden area, adding charm and function to the outdoor space. The Scott House offers a rare opportunity to own a living piece of Kentucky history-carefully preserved, thoughtfully updated, and ready for its next chapter.
