Home Details for 340 New Street

One of Lexington's most distinctive examples of adaptive reuse, this exceptional residence began as an 1880s carriage house, thoughtfully transformed into a home in 1966 by renowned architect Clyde Carpenter, and more recently updated by its current owners to honor its historic character while incorporating modern amenities. From the moment you enter through the original hinged front door, the home makes a striking impression—highlighted by a dramatic see-through fireplace, soaring volume ceilings, and beautifully restored wood flooring. The modernized kitchen and bathrooms blend seamlessly with the home's architectural heritage, offering both style and functionality. The inviting courtyard creates a private outdoor retreat, while the original addition presents endless possibilities for customization—whether as a studio, guest space, or home office.Ideally situated in the heart of Lexington, adjacent to Gratz Park and just moments from Transylvania University and downtown conveniences, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history reimagined for contemporary living.
