Discover a rare opportunity to own a monumental piece of Kentucky history – the Thomas Salter House – a timeless Greek Revival masterpiece developed in 1838 on 2732 Crab Orchard Road in Lancaster, Kentucky, gracefully standing as a National Register landmark with 5,438 square feet of storied architecture nestled on 1.5 acres. The property features a pedimented portico, twin columns, and wrought iron details, speaking of a bygone era of elegance and expert craftsmanship. From the moment you step through the original 8 limestone steps, you’ll be greeted into a world of grandeur featuring four 20’x20’ rooms with soaring 11-foot ceilings, ornate raised plaster medallions, paired closets, and wide-plank poplar floors that whisper of centuries past. A striking curved staircase with a walnut banister anchors the central hall, leading to four upstairs bedrooms and revealing layers of history with every turn. In addition, the home includes the original two-room log cabin, later unified by dog-trot porches and early 20th-century additions. The house boasts six fireplaces, five chimneys, and a mysterious twin-cellar system below the limestone foundation. Outside, a 10×12 springhouse with stone steps adds to the home’s storybook charm. Although in need of extensive restoration – a complete kitchen and bath rebuild and attention to structural elements – the craftsmanship, foundation, and legacy are priceless. Sold as-is for a captivating price, this offer won’t last long. Don’t miss the opportunity to make it yours. Schedule a private showing today, bring your vision and reverence for heritage, and experience the potential and majesty of this historic piece firsthand!
