About this House

Bell Court BEAUTY just minutes from thriving downtown Lexington tucked away in one of the city's most iconic historic neighborhoods. This post-Victorian era home is filled with the charm and original architectural details of the early 1900s, thoughtfully paired with modern updates that make the home as livable as it is beautiful. Leaded glass windows, wide moldings, tall ceilings, gorgeous original hardwood floors, pocket doors and unique fireplaces are just a few of the historic details preserved and still in place. Spacious light filled living, dining and family rooms and a timeless front parlor. The updated chef's kitchen is complete with a cozy corner window seat—the perfect spot to watch the action or sneak in a nap. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch offers another favorite place to relax and enjoy the outdoors (without the bugs!) and private backyard views. Upstairs, the sunroom overlooking the tree-canopied streets of Bell Court makes the most perfect home office or reading room. Three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with a bonus room and access to the second-floor porch, plus a walk-in closet and beautifully updated bath with both a soaking tub and tiled shower. The finished third floor could serve as a large bedroom with its huge walk-in closet or another common living space with endless possibilities. Outside, the dreamy front porch is exactly what you want in a historic neighborhood like Bell Court with its annual Front Porch Festival. The private backyard feels like its own little oasis, with a patio, mature landscaping, plenty of room to relax or entertain and a detached 2-car garage. Historic charm, modern comfort in one of Lexington's most beloved neighborhoods a short stroll to the shopping and dining of Chevy Chase AND downtown to catch a movie at the Kentucky Theater, the Saturday farmers market and a UK basketball game at Rupp Arena.

    "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."
