Description

Discover an Exceptional Opportunity in the Heart of Historic Frankfort, KY Just a stone's throw from the Capitol Building and Governor's Mansion, this iconic Capital Manor House blends historic charm with modern luxury offering not only a distinguished private residence but also a remarkable business opportunity with B&B status. Step onto the gracious front porch, perfect for morning coffee or greeting guests, and enter a grand foyer highlighted by an original rounded wooden staircase an architectural statement that sets the tone for the entire home. The main level offers elegant and unique lounge and dining/reception spaces, two distinct yet connected rooms ideal for intimate gatherings or large events. The high-end kitchen is a masterful balance of industrial meets traditional, featuring premium Samsung Bespoke appliances, a dedicated coffee bar, and a walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator. Hosting is elevated to an art form with the grand formal dining/reception hall, offering seating for up to 16 and a seamless flow into two thoughtfully designed powder rooms, each curated as intentional and memorable guest experiences. For large-scale entertaining or professional use, a second full butler's/scullery kitchen and an additional walk-in pantry/storage room serve the reception area ideal for a restaurant, private event venue, or boutique culinary operation. A dedicated laundry area with its own powder room and folding area ensures efficiency and convenience. A highlight of the manor is the luxurious wine and bourbon tasting room, featuring a custom built-in bar and a striking zebra-themed powder room an unforgettable retreat for connoisseurs and guests alike. Upstairs, discover three timeless, retreat-inspired bedrooms, all three of which include luxurious en-suite baths. A secondary stairwell leads to a guest lobby intentionally designed as a moment of 'artful living meets practical luxury.' The private primary suite is a world of its own, appointed with a serene bedroom, a library/office, a lavish spa-inspired bathroom, a hallway lined with opulent built-in closets, and two walk-in closets, including one with a washer/dryer combination. Every detail of this suite reflects intentional design that redefines everyday living. All the furniture and decor currently in the home are also available to be purchased with the sale of the house. To be negotiated outside the offer to purchase agreement.
