Realtor's notes: Step into a piece of living history at 205 W Chestnut St — one of Leitchfield's oldest and most distinguished homes, nestled at the end of a quiet street surrounded by towering hardwoods and lush, private grounds. This stunning 3,300 sq ft, 6-bedroom, 2-bath residence is brimming with original character that simply cannot be replicated. From the moment you walk through the door, you'll be captivated by soaring ceilings, rich original woodwork, wavy antique glass windows, interior shutters, transom doors, and seven decorative fireplaces that tell the story of a home crafted with intention and care. Hardwood floors flow through the kitchen and dining room, while the natural wood detail throughout the main living spaces is nothing short of breathtaking. Enjoy the convenience of central heating and air — a rarity in homes of this era — along with a main-floor laundry room complete with laundry chute, an oversized deep two-car garage, a charming screened porch, and a separate outbuilding. A chair lift to the upper level provides added accessibility, and abundant closet space throughout rounds out the functionality of this one-of-a-kind property. Outside, you'll find mature trees, private wooded acreage, and a setting that feels worlds away while still being minutes from everything Leitchfield has to offer. Whether you're a history lover, an architectural enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates craftsmanship that stands the test of time, this home was made for you. Priced well below the only comparable listing in the area. Don't miss your chance to own a true Leitchfield landmark.
