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 & out. Sellers have been excellent stewards to this historic treasure - lovingly maintaining, preserving & improving during their ownership.
