From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a warm, cohesive palette that sets a calming tone throughout the home.

Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and a full bath, offering room to grow, gather, or create. The home's updates continue behind the scenes, including a fully rewired electrical system, mini-split HVAC, and new lightingensuring comfort without compromise.
Outside, the story continues. The exterior has been freshly painted in a historically inspired palette, selected with the guidance of a preservation consultant. A deep front porch invites slow mornings and evening relaxation, while the fenced yard, newly added pergola, and private off-street parking enhance everyday living.
Located in the heart of Buena Vista, just minutes from downtown Lexington, this one-of-a-kind residence blends beauty, function, and historyrestored and ready for its next chapter.
