Rare opportunity to own a piece of Kentucky history in the Crescent Hill neighborhood. Declared a Kentucky Landmark in the 1970s by then​ ​Gov. Julian Carroll, Hendon House was one of the original 19th-century manor homes facing ​what is now known as Frankfort Avenue. Built in the early 1840s, Hendon House originally included about 15 acres. Today the property consists of .6 acres, fronted by​ ​park-like green space​ and​ includes brick walkways lined with boxwoods, a century-old lamp post, a bubbling fountain and a pond with a waterfall. The antebellum character of th​is​ six​ ​bedroom, four​ ​bath home has been carefully preserved​. The flow of the large, high-ceiling rooms, both upstairs and down, is well suited for today's open-concept living.The eat-in kitchen, featuring professional appliances, honed carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry and a huge walk-in pantry/mud room/laundry, opens into a family room, a banquet-sized dining room, and a wisteria-covered veranda. ​There are hardwood floors throughout the home, including ​some ​wide-plank pine floors original to the house. Front and back staircases lead to the upstairs ​which features five spacious bedrooms with large closets and three up​dated bathrooms.​ ​The en-suite master bathroom also has a Jacuzzi tub and opens up to a private rooftop terrace. The large, unfinished basement is immaculate and a waterproofing system installed about five years ago keeps it dry. The carriage house contains a two-car garage with a work room and space for lawn and garden equipment on the first floor. The unfinished second floor of the carriage house stuns with high ceilings and an abundance of cheerful light and could be finished to serve many needs, from additional living quarters to an art studio ​or​ recreational space. French doors open to a balcony overlooking the landscaped yard. Rumored to have been a part of the Underground Railroad, Hendon House continues to bridge the eras in which it has lived. At the same time, the renovated finishes throughout Hendon House provide present-day occupants with all of the up-to-date amenities one would expect of 21st century living.
