Property Description

Property is offered at public auction with online bidding only, ending January 13, 2026. Selling to the highest bidder at or above $68,200. Property is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with all faults and without warranties, representations, or contingencies of any kind. This classic Wallace Woods residence reflects early 20th-century architectural styling, featuring enduring old-world charm and period design elements that are increasingly difficult to replicate today. The home offers five rooms and two bedrooms, showcasing traditional proportions, original woodwork details, and craftsmanship typical of its era. Architectural highlights include a welcoming façade, tall windows that emphasize natural light, and interior spaces defined by vintage trim, solid wood doors, and original detailing that speak to the home's history. The layout reflects a time when homes were built with purpose, separation of spaces, and attention to detail rather than modern shortcuts. Situated on a 3,400 sq ft lot with alley access, the property enjoys a convenient urban setting near Wallace Woods and surrounding neighborhoods. Alley access provides functional rear access and added flexibility for future use. Buyers are responsible for all due diligence prior to bidding, including zoning, permitted uses, and any intended improvements. Auction terms require a non-refundable deposit immediately following the auction, per published auction terms. A 10 percent Buyer Premium will be added to the high bid to determine the final contract sales price. This property is being sold by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services on behalf of Sandra Slayback. The final purchase contract must be submitted to the Kenton County Judge for final approval. Court approval may take approximately 60-120 days.
