About This Home
Ideally located in the highly desirable South Hill historic district and just steps from Lexington's downtown dining and entertainment and the University of Kentucky campus, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo blends historic character with modern amenities and comfort.
Occupying an entire floor of a Bluegrass Trust historic building thoughtfully renovated into two elegant condominiums in 2007, this large condo showcases soaring 11-foot ceilings and large windows in the living room, kitchen, master suite, and foyer—creating an abundance of natural light throughout. Original hardwood floors, two original fireplaces, elegant custom wood cafe shutters, and custom storm glass windows and doors enhance and protect the historic charm.
The well-appointed kitchen features a large granite center island, premium matched stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage—perfect for entertaining.
A private master wing nestled in the back of the building includes a large primary bedroom, a walk-in closet, and ensuite bath, all three connected by a private hallway to create a peaceful space. A second bedroom and second full bath are located conveniently across a gallery- -style hallway that features adjustable studio track lighting ideal for displaying artwork.
The unit also features two private entrances, a dedicated laundry room, and is protected by a remote monitored alarm system.
In July and August of 2025, the entire exterior of the building was restored and repainted by the active Kimball House Square HOA. Restoration was done in coordination with the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation, ensuring long-term beauty in keeping with the historic significance of the building, which was originally designed in the mid-1800s by architect Cincinnatus Shryock and built by craftsman John McMurtry.
Recent upgrades include:
Exterior painting and restoration ($33,000)
Custom Wrought Iron Front Railing & Gate ($7,600)
Custom Wood Cafe Shutters ($5,200)
Whole-Unit Alarm System with Remote Monitoring (Bates Security, $1,200)
Honeywell Professional Smart Thermostats with Professional Installation ($500)
Zoned for Residential/Commercial use, this unit also includes one parking space and offers unbeatable location with proximity to all that downtown Lexington has to offer.
