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. In the heart of downtown Lexington, close to restaurants, bars, parks, Rupp Arena, Transylvania University & the University of Kentucky. This is a truly unique property with unlimited potential.
