Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a piece of downtown Lexington history at 579 W Short Street. Ideally located in the heart of the city, this unique property places you within walking distance of Lexington's finest restaurants, shopping, entertainment, parks, and local attractions, offering the true downtown living experience. This three-story historic home is ready for its next chapter. The property has been extensively prepared for renovation, with much of the heavy lifting already completed, including updated electrical and plumbing systems, as well as excavation of the basement to create taller ceilings and expanded usable space. With the home gutted and ready for finishing, buyers have the unique opportunity to design and customize the interior to their own vision while preserving the character and charm of a historic downtown residence. Adding to the property's appeal is a detached two-car garage with a one-bedroom apartment above, offering excellent potential for rental income, guest quarters, a home office, or mother-in-law suite. With valuable yard space, off-street parking, income-producing possibilities, and an unbeatable downtown location, this is a rare chance to create a one-of-a-kind residence or investment property in one of Lexington's most sought-after areas. Bring your vision and transform this historic gem into something truly extraordinary.
