Property Details
In the heart of Lexington, this stunning West 2nd Street home rests on a coveted approximate 1 / 2 acre! Within just a few short blocks to the Jefferson St restaurant corridor, Opera House, Farmers' Market, Rupp Arena and all that downtown has to offer, it is truly the best of both worlds - attractive private grounds including a large fenced lush landscaped yard with brick patio, all in a city setting. Historic resources state this Greek Revival was built circa 1840 for a close friend of Henry Clay. Beyond the fascinating ownership roots, this impressive home features beautiful Queen Anne, Federal Revival (mantels), Tuscan (portico) and Italianate details. Contemporary characteristics include a sun-filled Great Room with panoramic windows overlooking the beautiful yard, further adding to this home's ideal floorplan for entertaining both inside and out. Sellers have been excellent stewards to this historic treasure - lovingly maintaining, preserving and improving during their ownership.
