Set on 2.63 acres above the Ohio River, this pre-Civil War estate sits inside the gates of The Breakers at Prospect. It is the original property the community was built around. 9,982 square feet across three stories including a walkout lower level. Six bedrooms, four full baths and three half baths. Twelve-foot ceilings on both the main and upper floors. An elevator serves the lower, main, and upper levels. Eight fireplaces. They are original to the house and located throughout the main and upper floors, giving nearly every principal room its own hearth, a feature of period construction that is essentially impossible to reproduce today at any budget. Original hardwood floors run throughout. Original door hardware remains in place as well, down to the handles. The systems, however, are not original. Plumbing has been replaced. Air conditioning has been added. The boiler system is new. The bathrooms have been updated. Recent renovation work addressed the mechanical spine of the house without stripping the character out of it, which is the balance most historic properties get wrong in one direction or the other. Large windows in every outer room frame river views from all three floors. The grounds hold mature oaks. There is an attached three-car garage. For a buyer who wants more than the existing footprint: architectural plans for a substantial addition and interior redesign have already been drawn. The design adds a first-floor primary suite, a three-car main-level garage, a new gourmet kitchen, scullery, hearth room and more. These plans are included in the list price and but the work is not. They can be priced as a separate scope along with custom finish selections, or the plans can convey at closing. Either path is available and the structure is negotiable. That optionality is the real position here. Buy a documented 1858 estate on nearly three acres of riverfront land, and either live in it as it stands or execute a designed expansion that has already cleared the drawing stage. The Breakers at Prospect is a private gated community of 62 homesites across roughly 50 acres overlooking the Ohio River, with river views, lake views, green space, and mature trees. Homes in the community run from $2M and up. This is the anchor property. Gated community, appointment required.
