This house was built in 1847 for James C. Butler, a business partner of architect John McMurtry in several antebellum real estate transactions in downtown Lexington. Originally a one story Greek revival cottage, the second floor was added after a major fire in the Western Suburb in 1901, most likely by Miss George H. B. Burton who purchased the property in 1902. Last sold in 1994, this fully renovated house has a 1st fl master as well as a 2nd fl master plus an additional 2nd fl bedroom & small sitting room. Gleaming hardwood floors, double glazed windows, copper roof, 3 fireplaces (not warranted) & recent HVAC updates. The light filled kitchen has vaulted ceilings and opens to the large garden room with brick floors and views of the rear courtyard-garden that accesses the side entry 2-car garage. Move-in ready, this well located gem is a rare find!
