Buyers have an opportunity to own one of Downtown Frankfort's most historic and recently renovated homes. The Macklin House is located in the heart of Downtown Frankfort in what is known as the Corner of Celebrities. Built circa 1850 by George Macklin, a Frankfort coal operator and entrepreneur, this two-story brick, 6 bedroom, 4 bath home boasts a spacious 6,000 sq ft. of finished space. Purchased in 2017, the home underwent extensive renovations providing modern upgrades while maintaining the historic character both inside and out. The home, which previously served for decades as a law office for some of Frankfort's most respected attorneys, was converted into three separate suites with the main suite on the first floor and two nearly 1,500 sq. ft. suites on second floor. Each of the second-second floor suites have 2 bedrooms, 1 bath; and the main suite on the first floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and covers nearly 3,000 sq. ft. Current owners' upgrades include: replacement of electrical service with updated wiring; plumbing upgrades; replacement of HVAC in 2017 for the second-floor suites, and 2023 for the first-floor suite; replacement of the standing seam metal roof in 2024 meeting the National Park Service's standards and guidelines for preservation work, as well as copper half round gutters on the front of the home, among other upgrades. With flexible zoning, this property offers versatility and presents a generational opportunity to any prospective buyer.
