7811 Wolf Pen Branch Rd, Prospect, KY 40059

Public Remarks: This lovingly restored and completely renovated Greek Revival style home looks as if it should be in New England or upstate New York. Luckily, it gracefully sits on 2.49 acres of lushly landscaped property on Wolf Pen Branch Rd., 20 minutes from downtown and 10 minutes to many shopping areas and schools. You'll not believe the original home was built in 1856, since every inch has been impeccably renovated and expanded to fit today's lifestyle. The renovations were numerous; raising ceilings, adding staircases and a first floor master suite, replacing and enlarging windows, bath and kitchen renovations, just to name a few! The siding is redwood and has been recently painted and well-maintained. All work was done with a careful consideration of preserving the architectural integrity, using custom four panel doors with forged iron hardware, an abundance of period millwork and antique Pine flooring. The expansive master suite offers beautiful custom finishes, a separate sitting room, a fireplace and a remarkable master bath. Much attention was paid to capturing the private, outdoor vistas with enlarged custom windows throughout. Several of the additions bring a more casual and touch of modern feel to this historic home, making it the perfect palette for many styles of furnishings and art. This is not your typical "old historic home", it's light-filled, current and has a broad appeal to discerning buyers. There's also a wonderful Dutch Colonial horse barn with a huge loft studio, a full bath and bar. What a wonderful place to host a Derby party! The board and batten garage has a standing seam metal roof and a quintessential potting shed, that opens to one of the four-square raised bed gardens...how perfect! Homes like this are certainly one-of-a-kind, offering the charm of history, beautiful acreage and all the updates and amenities we look for in 2018.
