Comments
I just purchased this 1920's craftsman lake-house bungalow home that sits directly in front of the old Chenault Bridge in Boyle County as an investment and possible flip project. I am quickly discovering that this bridge along with house has a lot of history to it, and I have starting to fall in love with the area.
As much as it pains me I still intend to eventually sell the house after I have fully restored it to its full glory, to help pay for my children's college education, so if there is a bridge enthusiast out there that would have some interest in it you should give it some consideration. It overlooks this majestic bridge/lake and is only a couple of steps away. If you have any interest, give me a call at 859-351-4826.
I would love to sell it to somebody w/ some ties to area or and the bridge.
