Property Description

Location, location, location! The "three L's" truly set this Opera House Square townhome apart. Ideally positioned in the heart of downtown Lexington, you're approximately 1.5 blocks from the new Gatton Park and just moments from Rupp Arena, restaurants, bars, hotels, the Farmers Market, the Opera House, and all the energy of downtown. Yet, with the neighboring church providing a welcome buffer from city activity, this gated community offers a surprising sense of separation and privacy. Inside, the spacious two-story layout offers an excellent foundation for buyers ready to make it their own. The main level features an expansive living room with a gas fireplace and built-in shelving, a dedicated dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar seating, and guest half-bath. Upstairs, the dual-suite design includes two bedrooms, each with a private attached bath, plus a convenient laundry nook. One of the property's standout features is the enclosed, open-air brick garden patio—a rare find among competing downtown properties and an inviting spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. An outdoor shed provides additional storage. Recent enhancements include updated light fixtures in the kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint, and newly drywalled living room accents. Concrete-block separation walls shared by only select units further enhance the feeling of privacy and quiet. With a great layout, exceptional downtown location, and hard-to-find private outdoor space, this property presents an exciting opportunity to renovate, customize, and create a downtown residence tailored to your style. The HOA is just $185, and the seller has already paid a $5,000 assessment, which the seller indicates is anticipated to cover association needs for approximately the next five years. Bring your vision and take advantage of an opportunity to make this ideally located downtown townhome your own.
