Description

This historic home has just gotten more attainable, and it's full of character and potential. Original heart pine floors, ornate mantels, and a stained-glass bathroom window hint at the craftsmanship of another era, waiting for the right owner to bring it fully back to life. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to the second-floor primary suite, offering over 400 sq. ft. of space, a full bath, and its own mini-split heating and cooling. Two additional bedrooms round out the main level, one featuring built-in armoire closets that convey with the home. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a gas range, with a stackable washer and dryer tucked into a custom cabinet. Outside, mature trees shade a spacious backyard, plus a 12x12 workshop/storage shed wired with electricity, great for projects or extra storage. Located just minutes from Transylvania University, the Living Arts & Science Center, the Limestone corridor, and Downtown Lexington's shops and restaurants, this is a rare opportunity to invest in a piece of the city's history. Bring your vision, and make it your own. Furniture is negotiable. Note: a few listing photos are virtually staged to showcase the home's potential.
