Property Description for 501 Main St Ghent, KY 41045
Welcome to The Poet's House, a distinguished Kentucky landmark nestled in the picturesque Ohio River town of Ghent. This historic gem, originally constructed around 1863, was the cherished abode of James Tandy Ellis, a celebrated native son renowned for his talents as a poet, humorist, columnist, raconteur, and soldier.
Step into the embrace of history as you explore this exquisite brick Greek Revival dwelling, lovingly preserved and restored to its former glory. In 2005, The Poet's House transitioned into a charming bed and breakfast, inviting guests to immerse themselves in its storied past. Today, while currently utilized as a single-family residence, the property retains its innate potential for lucrative bed & breakfast or short-term rental ventures.
