Property Description
Stunning 4-Bed, 3-Bath Completely Renovated Victorian Home in Historic Downtown Lexington. This remarkable 1880 Victorian classic, offering nearly 4,000 square feet, features a brick and stone exterior and is ideally located in the heart of Lexington's historic district. The residence has been meticulously renovated from top to bottom and is ready for immediate occupancy. As you enter this vintage gem, you're greeted by a breathtaking foyer, highlighted by the original solid wood front door adorned with leaded glass and a transom. The space showcases gleaming refinished floors, elegant trim, a grand staircase with beautifully carved balusters, and soaring ceilings. Adjacent to the foyer lies the formal living room, which boasts a gas fireplace and two pairs of pocket doors that create a separation from both the foyer and the formal dining room, which also includes its own fireplace. All fireplaces are equipped with custom Barnhill inserts. The completely redesigned eat-in kitchen features modern flooring, elegantly crafted white cabinetry, updated lighting, a stylish tile backsplash, soapstone countertops, and an oversized island with contemporary gas burners. It also includes new stainless-steel appliances, such as a double oven, a new sink and fixtures, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy window seat. A secondary rear staircase conveniently connects the kitchen to the second floor. The fully remodeled downstairs bathroom includes a tiled walk-in shower, a new toilet, contemporary lighting, a crisp white Retrospect� pedestal sink, and designer paint. The full bathroom on the second floor is highlighted by the original Victorian tub, now enhanced with a new tile surround and refinished classic tiles on the walls. On the upper level, you'll discover a separate living room that can function as an additional bedroom, complete with its own gas fireplace. The spacious primary bedroom features a fourth gas fireplace, complemented by a beautifully finished dark wood mantle and tiled hearth, alongside an airy bay window. A custom-designed walk-in closet/dressing area leads to an enclosed sun porch that overlooks a tranquil backyard, adorned with trees and hedges. An office space on the second floor further enhances its appeal as a remote workspace or craft nook. The stunning third-floor guest suite boasts a turret and vaulted ceiling, new carpeting, exposed brick accents, custom design elements, living space, a wet bar, a bedroom area, a brand-new washer and dryer, and a full bath equipped with a tiled walk-in shower, glass block window, modern vanity, stylish vessel sink, and a new air conditioning unit. This exceptional home is bathed in natural light, featuring new windows and storm windows, along with elegant new lighting and stylish interior shutters and blinds. Its beauty is matched by functionality, including a recently installed HVAC unit on the third floor, alongside two other professionally serviced systems. The home offers an unfinished basement that provides ample storage space and an additional set of new laundry machines. A rear covered porch overlooks an enclosed backyard, while an off-street 2-car detached garage is situated at the back of the property. Significant upgrades enhance the home's appeal, such as new custom storm windows, three handcrafted Heritage windows, an additional electrical panel, updated plumbing and sewer pipes, and new ductwork. This residence boasts a prime location with easy walking access to downtown Lexington, offering a variety of businesses, theaters, restaurants, bars, the farmer's market, the University of Kentucky, and Transylvania College. Nearby outdoor activities include taking leisurely strolls to the new Towne Branch Park and biking along the scenic Legacy Trail, both just minutes away. With meticulous finishes and an abundance of possibilities for luxury living and adventure, this home is truly a rare find. Home is being sold "as is," with inspections welcomed.
