202 E Walnut St, Danville, KY 40422

The Thomas Barbee House, built circa 1790 and on the National Register of Historic Places and Kentucky's famed Bourbon Trail, presents the rare opportunity to own a piece of American history brought into this century. On the same block as downtown Danville's Constitution Square, the "birthplace of Kentucky," and walking distance to Centre College, the Thomas Barbee House recently underwent a major renovation, restoring its walls, ceilings and floors to the 18th century while bringing its interiors to the 21st. A single-pen, two-story log cabin made of white oak logs, the Thomas Barbee House features a first-floor, open-living concept with a modern kitchen and inviting living room with a gas fireplace. A spacious bedroom, laundry room and bathroom comprise the second floor, while the third floor sleeping loft welcomes extra guests. Zoned residential and commercial, the Thomas Barbee House is turnkey for any endeavor, especially a short-term rental for visitors to Danville, Centre College, and those exploring the Bourbon Trail. An additional lot presents the opportunity for residential or commercial expansion. Thomas Barbee, a Revolutionary War officer, was awarded land grants in Kentucky for his military service. He built the Thomas Barbee House near Danville's first post office where he reported to work as the first postmaster west of the Alleghenies. The original post office where he worked is walking distance from the cabin in Danville's Constitution Square as is Barbee's gravestone in Danville's beautiful Bellevue Cemetery.
