150 Duncan Ave, Paris, KY 40361

Property Description

Step into Paris history at 150 Duncan Avenue, the Pratt/Gnadinger House, one of the earliest homes on this picturesque street, dating to circa 1860. Located in the Duncan Avenue Historic District, this residence seamlessly blends 19th-century architectural character with modern comforts. Gothic-style gables and ornate bargeboard trim create striking curb appeal, while the covered front and side porches offer inviting spaces for morning coffee or evening conversation. Inside, tall ceilings, three fireplaces, and generously proportioned rooms create an open, airy atmosphere. A classic clawfoot tub adds a timeless, spa-like touch. With four bedrooms, including one on the main level, and three-and-a-half updated bathrooms, the layout is well suited for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious central entry hall anchors the formal living and dining rooms, showcasing original parquet floors with wood inlay borders that add warmth and character. The renovated kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double ovens, and granite countertops. A butler's pantry connects the kitchen to the dining room and backyard, preserving the home's historic layout while enhancing convenience. A unique bonus is the income-producing opportunity. A portion of the home has been used as a short-term rental and can also be used for multigenerational living. This separate living area includes a kitchenette, living room, spacious bedroom, full bath, and private side porch entrance, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or additional income. Interior doorways could easily be reopened to return the home to a single-residence layout. Outdoor spaces are equally charming, with mature boxwoods, peonies, seasonal tulips, and a partially enclosed side yard for year-round enjoyment. A detached two-car garage provides ample storage and convenience. Enjoy sidewalk-lined streets, historic surroundings, and walkable access to a local whiskey distillery, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and downtown Paris, with Lexington just a short drive away. The home is offered furnished with antique pieces that complement its historic character plus the riding lawmower, creating a true turnkey opportunity. The seller is providing a one-year America's Preferred Home Warranty for added peace of mind.
