About This Home

As of August 2025

This charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers 1,580 square feet of comfortable living space in one of Lexington's most desirable neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned for families, this property sits within walking distance of Lexington High School, Optimist Rec Complex, Lexington Fieldhouse, the Lexington Regional Health Center, and the beautiful Plum Creek Park. Recently updated with a brand new roof and gutters installed by Apple Roofing in the fall of 2024. The water heater was replaced four years ago, and a new water softener was installed in 2023, ensuring efficient household operations. The heating and cooling system received professional maintenance by FRAE INC in March 2025, providing peace of mind for years to come. The single-car garage offers protected parking and additional storage space, while the functional layout inside creates a welcoming atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining guests. The primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, with two additional bedrooms offering plenty of space for family members or guests. The neighborhood is truly exceptional, with proximity to essential amenities including the local hospital and soccer/ baseball fields. Weekend activities are a breeze with Plum Creek Park just around the corner, offering green spaces for recreation and relaxation.
