Introducing Ash Lea—an extraordinary offering of timeless heritage and refined living. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and steeped in Kentucky legacy, this stately five-bedroom estate rests gracefully on nearly three acres in Oldham County. Thought to have been constructed as early as 1824, the residence is a striking example of Folk Victorian architecture, impeccably preserved and masterfully updated for today's modern lifestyle. Spanning over 3,900 square feet across three finished levels, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with elegant upgrades. Grand fireplaces, original hardwoods, soaring ceilings, and intricate millwork speak to its rich architectural character, while a thoughtfully renovated kitchen with quartz surfaces and a gas range provides the perfect balance of form and function. With multiple living and entertaining spaces throughoutincluding three potential primary suitesthe floor plan offers exceptional flexibility without sacrificing luxury. Beyond the main residence, a charming 1,100-square-foot guest cottage sits tucked quietly among mature treesideal for extended family, a private office, or guest accommodations. Ash Lea's provenance is as significant as its beauty. Once home to George and Kate Miller, the estate is also intertwined with the family of statesman Henry Clay, and even served as a refuge for his grandchildren under the guardianship of Nanette Price Smithone of the first women in Kentucky granted independent property ownership, an achievement cemented by Chief Justice Thomas Marshall. Rarely does a property of such historical importance, architectural integrity, and enduring elegance come to market. Ash Lea is more than a homeit's a generational legacy.
