Historic Oldham County home in Pewee Valley, Kentucky! Welcome to 138 Rollington Rd., built circa 1870 in an early Kentucky Pioneer community originally known as Rollington. This home is located on a spacious 1.5 acre lot just off Central Avenue and Highway 22, Ballardsville Rd., only a few minutes from the Gene Snyder Freeway and Louisville. Step inside the vintage entry foyer that has greeted guests for over 150 years and served as home to a prominent Pewee Valley family for nearly 80 years. The first floor of this two-story family home offers spacious rooms with many fireplaces, including a large living/gathering room with a fireplace, an oversized dining room with gas log fireplace and a first-floor bedroom that has been used as an office/study. You'll also find a spacious laundry area and a big, updated eat-in country kitchen with a large pantry/closet. (The pegs in the closet were used in pioneer days by visitors and family to hang their guns before sitting down to a meal.) The back kitchen door opens to a large, private patio and gathering area outside. Upstairs are four more bedrooms. Three bedrooms have fireplaces, and one bedroom is ideal for a nursery, private office/den, or a large bedroom. Outside the home, enjoy the oversized corner wooded, park-like level yard with a huge open lawn for yard parties, outdoor games, family activities, and entertaining. You'll also love the beautiful, relaxing, private ornamental pond with a water feature and sitting area - an ideal place to read a book and unwind. The other property features are outstanding. The old smokehouse, now used as a yard and garden tool storage building, as well as a chicken coop, still remain. An original old barn outbuilding with a loft was converted into a one-car garage, with the loft above used as living quarters for guests and travelers. A two-car carport is attached to this building. OVER $75,000 IN RECENT UPDATES and improvements include a new roof, HVAC, water heater, new designer flooring on the first-floor level, plus new landscaping and a koi pond.
