The great room showcases an original brick fireplace, once used for cooking in the home's early years. With five bedrooms, each offering its own updated bath with marble tile and antique vanities, the home provides both comfort and character throughout. A charming red "party barn" adds flexibility for gatherings, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. A rare opportunity to own a stunning piece of Kentucky history, Johnston's Inn offers a unique blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern convenience in a truly special setting.
