Situated on a generous 0.69-acre lot in the heart of Wilmore, this historic Colonial-style home is waiting for the right buyer to bring it back to life. This is not a cosmetic fixer-upper.

Inside, you'll find over 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and an additional vanity room, along with a massive living room, spacious eat-in kitchen, abundant storage, original wood trim, historic architectural details, and multiple bedrooms featuring ensuite baths. A screened-in porch offers additional space to enjoy the property's peaceful setting. Adding to the property's appeal is a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath dwelling located on the lot, providing additional possibilities for future use. Conveniently located near downtown Wilmore, Asbury University, and Asbury Theological Seminary, with easy access to Nicholasville and approximately 15 minutes from Lexington, this property combines small-town charm with accessibility. Whether your vision is restoring a grand historic residence, creating a multi-generational living arrangement, or undertaking a one-of-a-kind investment project, this property offers a rare opportunity to preserve a piece of Wilmore's history.
