Description

Nestled within a peaceful five-acre preserve, Tucker House stands as a timeless treasure steeped in Kentucky history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable estate once served as the heart of a 600-acre working farm. Today, it continues to captivate as a beautifully preserved residence, currently operating as a successful bed and breakfast, yet offering endless potential for its next chapter. Zoned OTF, Tucker House invites a variety of future uses – continue its legacy as a beloved inn, reimagine it as a boutique office, transform it into a private estate, or explore its potential as a one-of-a-kind short-term rental destination. Whatever your vision, this historic home is ready to accommodate it with grace and grandeur. A gracious circle drive welcomes you to the home, where a classic brick walkway and covered front porch set the tone. Step inside, and you’ll be instantly transported back in time – original poplar floors stretch throughout the home, and a sweeping staircase with its original curved cherry handrail anchors the grand foyer. To the left, the parlor-style living room beckons with a fireplace, built-in bookcases, shuttered windows, and abundant natural light. To the right, the formal dining room offers its own fireplace and an exquisite built-in china cabinet. From here, the home’s heart unfolds: a cozy family room – once a covered porch – now seamlessly connects to the thoughtfully updated kitchen. Blending heritage and modern function, the kitchen boasts dual-finish cabinetry, rich soapstone countertops, a massive wood-topped island, and high-end appliances subtly hidden behind custom panels. A charming brick hearth fireplace, original pantry storage, warming drawer, and ice maker complete this chef’s dream space. Tucked privately in the rear of the home is a spacious primary suite, featuring an en-suite bath and direct access to a sun-filled office with brick flooring and its own private entrance. Step out from the family room onto a serene deck and patio that overlook lush landscaping – an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. A charming powder room beneath the staircase and an enclosed laundry room complete this level. Two staircases – front and rear – lead to the upper level, where you’ll find four generous bedrooms and four full baths. The “President’s Chamber” is a standout, offering two closets, a fireplace, and access to a charming den (formerly a sleeping porch) and the second-story deck. An adjacent bathroom with jetted tub and shower conveniently accommodates this guest. The “Elizabeth Chamber” named for Mrs. Tucker’s mother, offers a fireplace, closet and adjacent bathroom with tub and shower combo. The former rear “dormitory” now hosts two additional bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, with the “Traveler’s Room” featuring a private exterior access. Outside, the magic continues. A glistening in-ground pool with adjacent storage and covered lounging area awaits summer days. Meander past the tranquil pond, explore the remains of the original stone springhouse, or relax under the portico-style covered parking area with side entry into the kitchen. Rich in history, overflowing with character, and brimming with possibility, Tucker House is more than a home – it’s an experience. Come see this unforgettable property where past, present, and future beautifully converge.
