Prime Historic Commercial Building in the Heart of Bardstown

Located just two blocks from the historic courthouse square, this two-story building sits in the middle of steady year-round walking traffic. Bardstown draws visitors from across the country as a major stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and as host of the week-long Kentucky Bourbon Festival. In 2012, Rand McNally named Bardstown “America’s Most Beautiful Small Town,” and it continues to be a favorite destination for travelers enjoying golf courses, campgrounds, shopping, dining, and history.

This is one of Bardstown’s original buildings, constructed in 1870 according to PVA records, and full of historic character. The property is heated by a steam boiler system that has been professionally serviced annually since 2009 and remains in excellent working condition.

  • Ground floor: Approx. 1,300 sq. ft. (per PVA)
  • Second floor: Approx. 1,000 sq. ft. (per PVA)
  • Access: Second floor entry from both the front sidewalk and rear parking lot

The upstairs features a B-2 zoned apartment currently operating as a successful Airbnb with strong occupancy. The furnished unit includes:

  • 1 bedroom
  • Living room
  • Kitchen with appliances
  • Bathroom
  • Upright washer/dryer combo
  • Rear balcony deck

The main level is currently used as a vintage sports memorabilia shop but offers flexible potential for a wide variety of retail or business uses.

Auction Terms:

  • 20% down day of sale
  • Balance due within 30 days
  • 10% buyer’s premium added to the final bid to determine sales price
  • Selling As Is, with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied
  • Property was built prior to 1978 and may contain lead-based paint
  • Any announcements made on the day of sale take precedence over prior statements

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Bardstown history in a premier downtown location with built-in tourist traffic and income potential.
