211 McDowell Road is classic Ashland Park - an inviting 1920s Craftsman with the character and gracious proportions that make this neighborhood so special. Restored by Andover Construction prior to the current owners' purchase and gently lived in as a 2nd residence since, the home features the original staircase and beautiful hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, generous living and dining spaces, four bedrooms and a third-floor bonus room. The covered front porch feels right at home on McDowell Road, while the newly redone Trex deck extends the living space to the fenced backyard, along with a detached two-car garage. Other recent improvements include a tankless water heater, sump pump, irrigation system and new back doors. All just minutes from Chevy Chase, downtown Lexington, and the University of Kentucky.
