Rare opportunity to own the Adam Anthony Coppersmith Shop circa 1826. On the National Register of Historic Places, the 915 sq ft shop was improved by 729 sq ft in 2010 without losing the original character. Now, the 1647 sq ft home is ideal for a residence, multi-use building or for short-term rental income. The living room has the original exposed beams. The kitchen has a stainless steel island and a beautiful Kentucky Poplar cabinet. The primary bedroom adjoins a bath with a claw foot tub and a cherry armoire for additional storage. Doors open to a private patio with a stunning view of the Visitor Centre. Upstairs the original sleeping quarter has been preserved as a large bedroom. The 2010 addition includes a hallway of generous storage space, a loft office and a third bedroom. The outdoor shed provides additional storage and the home has two private off-street parking spaces. Close to shops, restaurants, concerts and everything that makes Bardstown special.
