Tired of houses with no 'soul'? Love history? Want something different? Look no further. The first person to live near this 'bubbling spring', Shadrach Phelps, was once a resident of Boonesborough alongside Daniel Boone. Earlier log homes were later replaced with this gorgeous home around 1875, by John Quincy Phelps. 146 years later it stands proudly as a reminder of simpler times. Painstakingly restored over the past few years, much of the original charm of the home has been maintained, and yet it remains surprisingly compatible with modern lifestyles. Tall ceilings, wide trim, and interesting features throughout, bring a feeling of adventure to everyday living. Two acres remain of the original 600. The spring still bubbles up, and the feeling one gets when standing on the porch is almost indescribable. 2 modern buildings offer plenty of storage, and the kennel could easily be converted...
