Bids are being accepted on Rosewell
(July 20, 2016) – A historic home is for sale in eastern Jefferson County. Sealed bids are being accepted for Rosewell. The property is located at 6900 Transylvania Avenue in Prospect, and sits near the Ohio River.
The home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, includes six bedrooms, four bathrooms and eight fireplaces. It’s more than 7,200 square feet and sits on 4.5 acres. The sale includes an additional 1.3 acres of adjacent, non-historic property for a total of nearly six acres of land.
The two-story, hall-parlor house was built in the 1820s, with a limestone addition in 1854. The home was purchased by Charles and Anita Middleton in 1924. Anita named the home Rosewell for the roses that thrived on the farm’s well water.
The house includes ornate chandeliers and sconces, a stained-glass window and clawfoot tub. Arched doorways are located at either end of the grand hall.
Bidders are subject to the terms and conditions of a historic preservation and conservation easement, designed to protect the architectural and historic integrity of the property. Complete details of the preservation easement can be viewed here: http://ift.tt/29Wdnes.
The property was purchased by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) as part of right-of-way acquisition for the East End Crossing portion of the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project.
