478 West Broadway Street, Danville, KY 40422

Historic, classic, regal -- all words to describe this stately Colonial home that hearkens back to the formative years of Danville in 1832. One of the city's first homes on record, and designated the Rice-Cowan House, (a Kentucky landmark worthy of preservation), by The Kentucky Heritage Council, this treasured residence sits directly adjacent to the original hospital that housed Ephraim McDowell. The 3,047 square foot story-and-a-half has been adoringly cared for over the years, and has much to offer. Starting with the traditional floor plan, a welcoming entryway is flanked by two formal living rooms, (one could be a bedroom) -- each with (what sellers assume to be) gorgeous original fireplaces. Those spacious rooms open up to a nice, light-filled study/office space, an elegant formal dining room, a large eat-in kitchen, a first-floor laundry/utility room, a full bath with stand-up shower and a first-floor bedroom with full bathroom and soaking tub. In the kitchen, you'll be captivated by the unique ''statement'' arched brick oven that's fully functional -- making homemade pizza at your next dinner party a breeze! Upstairs, you'll find two additional oversized bedrooms, one with a massive walk-in closet, and a half bath that could be easily converted back into a full bath. There is also a functional utility room area -- and the door to it still operates with a vintage lock and key! The interior walk-in basement showcases the original stacked stone foundation and provides additional ample storage space, and a 1-car detached garage provides covered parking in the drive. A few of this home's many one-of-a-kind features include beautiful original hardwood floors, substantial crown moulding, ornate fireplace mantels, a nice white picket fenced-in courtyard and an inviting covered front porch with ceilings charmingly painted sky blue. (By the way, there are NEW vinyl WINDOWS throughout, saving you on what could have been a substantial expense!) If owning a home where "the walls could talk" has always been your dream, don't let this one get away. Conveniently located within walking distance to all of the amenities of Downtown Danville, Centre College, Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, restaurants and shops.
