Well-appointed historic residence (c. 1820) centrally located in downtown Lexington offers a rare turn-key residential opportunity in the C1 commercial zoning district allowing for a multitude of uses including short-term rental. Meticulously restored to the finest detail in 2007, the property now combines the grace and charm of an historic Lexington residence with fully updated modern amenities in one of the most convenient locations available.
Luxurious enhancements include an inviting kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-quality appliances, and venting system; all-new plumbing; all-new wiring with protective shielded cable; new roof, HVAC systems, and stone foundation; 4 full bathrooms and ground-floor powder room; extensive and intensive insulation; Wi-Fi and cable; and rebuilt chimneys with 5 fireplaces redesigned on Rumford principles for maximum efficiency.
