About This Home
Built by Captain Robert Johnston in 1782, Johnston's Inn once served as a prominent stagecoach stop between Maysville and Lexington and is widely considered by historians to be the oldest home in Bourbon County. Rich in history and character, the property still reflects its original design, where separate front doors welcomed guests into distinct parlors. Set on over 8 acres of gently rolling Bluegrass landscape, this remarkable residence has been thoughtfully renovated to balance historic charm with modern livability. Original details such as blue ash hardwood floors, walnut woodwork, tall ceilings, and generously sized, light-filled rooms have been carefully preserved. The main living spaces include formal living and dining rooms, along with a stunning, fully updated kitchen featuring custom white cabinetry, high-end appliances including a Lofra gas range, and a warm, inviting wood island. The great room showcases an original brick fireplace, once used for cooking in the home's early years. With five bedrooms, each offering its own updated bath with marble tile and antique vanities, the home provides both comfort and character throughout. A charming red "party barn" adds flexibility for gatherings, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. A rare opportunity to own a stunning piece of Kentucky history, Johnston's Inn offers a unique blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern convenience in a truly special setting.
