On an established lot in the heart of Lansdowne Merrick, 2985 Montavesta Road is an offering that rewards vision. This property carries the space, structure, and setting that are increasingly hard to find at this price point and location, and it is ready for a new owner to bring it fully back to life. At 4,240 square feet, the floor plan lives large, with four bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths. Generous formal and everyday living spaces flow across the main part of the home, and an updated primary bathroom is already complete. A separate section of the home could easily become a second residence complete with its own family room, kitchen and laundry well suited to extended family or guests. Outside, a fenced rear yard offers real privacy, anchored by an in-ground pool and mature landscaping that give the grounds a quiet, resort-like feel with the right attention. This home is remarkably convenient to so much - just a short distance from the University of Kentucky, the Arboretum, neighborhood parks, and the shops and restaurants of Chevy Chase, in one of Lexington's most durable established corridors. The property is offered as part of an estate, sold as-is, and a pre-listing inspection is already completed. This is a genuine opportunity to restore a substantial home in a fantastic location. Bring your vision and make it your own.
