New Price! An incredible opportunity to own one of the older homes in Lexington! This 2-story, 3-bay, unbounded brick Greek revival home built in 1845 has plank lintels with decorative corner blocks. Details & character abound, including original wide plank poplar floors, cherry handrail, 1 original Pre-Civil War mantle (in the upstairs bathroom), Victorian (upgraded) mantles, marred parlor door frames & large, non-folding parlor doors, as well as contemporary, custom, hand-crafted wallpaper by a local artist; who happens to be the current owner. Additionally, marbled baseboard in living room, painted wood cabinetry in the den, and an artist's studio in back with non-compliant space upstairs that accesses a custom built tree house! In back, there is a large fenced-in yard with a patio, a pergola with climbing hydrangeas, and a large storage shed. Off-street parking accessible by back ally, could build a garage & access home from the back.

    "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."
