Built in 1805 and situated on a spacious double lot totaling approximately 0.55 acres, this exceptional residence is steeped in Bluegrass history. It's the birthplace and childhood home of Congressman John Todd Stuart, a pivotal figure in the life of Abraham Lincoln. Stuart met Lincoln during the Black Hawk War of 1832, where their friendship began. Recognizing Lincoln's potential, Stuart lent him his law books, guiding him toward a legal career. They practiced law together from 1837-1841. Stuart introduced Lincoln to his cousin, Mary Todd, and the rest is history. This home is a remarkable blend of historic character and modern luxury. While its solid brick walls, wide pine floors, and period wainscoting and trim reflect the elegance of a bygone era, nearly every element has been thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle. Enjoy the charm of exposed brick, gas fireplaces in every downstairs living area, a kitchen with granite countertops and custom cabinetry, new HVAC systems, and multiple inviting porches offering privacy and serenity. Rare opportunity to own a piece of American history with all the comfort and convenience of contemporary living. 24 hr kickout, continue to show.
