About this House

Historic character meets sophisticated downtown living! Originally built in 1880, this beautifully renovated residence offers over 3,200 square feet of distinctive living space in the heart of Lexington. Inside, original architectural details blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates, including hardwood floors, exposed brick and multiple fireplaces. Recent improvements include a new HVAC, roof and solar panels, adding modern efficiency to this historic home. The kitchen features quartz countertops and striking AGA appliances and opens to a spacious living area with a wood-burning fireplace and double doors leading to a private enclosed brick courtyard. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own with generous closet space, exposed brick and a beautifully appointed bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, double vanity and oversized tiled shower. A second bedroom with an ensuite bath and conveniently located laundry complete the second level. The third floor adds an exceptional flexible space ideal for a home office, den, guest retreat or additional entertaining area, complete with a wet bar and access to a rooftop deck showcasing views of the Lexington skyline. Two off-street parking spaces—a rare downtown find—add everyday convenience. Just blocks from Gratz Park, Transylvania University, downtown dining, entertainment, Rupp Arena and Lexington's central business district, this is a truly special opportunity to own a piece of Lexington history without sacrificing modern comfort.

    "It’s right next to the park, which is great for walking and playing with your dogs. However, some houses in these areas do not have backyards, so it is difficult if you have a dog constantly needing access to the outdoors or accustomed to a backyard. "

    "The commute is okay. I work in Nicholasville so we head out on Tate’s Creek in the morning and it’s not too bad. The stop lights are pretty annoying. "

    "W. Second St. Lexington, Ky is a great downtown area to walk or just enjoy yourself at a nearby restaurant, pub, brewery or distillery. W. Second street is conveniently located within short walking distance to Gratz park, the home of Mary Todd Lincoln or Triangle park. Do a little shopping at Festival Market, Victorian Square or a wine shop. Watch the Kentucky Wildcats play at Rupp Arena. Thursday, Friday and Saturdays are usually the busiest times of the week for this area. Very close to public and highly rated private schools in a matter of just a few minutes walking. Bus stops located on the same street. Excellent historical part of Lexington, Ky to hang out and enjoy yourself."
