Welcome to 242 Tahoma Rd, nestled in one of Lexington's most beloved neighborhoods. Inside, you'll find a soothing, light-filled layout with two bedrooms and one full bath downstairs, and a large bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room suite upstairs. Built in 1941, this home has been lovingly cared for by two generations of the same family and offers timeless cottagecore appeal and modern updates. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are up-to-date, and original plaster and paneling have been replaced with sheetrock. The laundry space has been conveniently relocated to the main floor. Recent upgrades to the kitchen include custom-built cabinets, a farmhouse sink, and butcher-block countertops, while retro elements such as glass-paneled interior doors and built-ins throughout the home allow it to retain its historic charm.
Easy to love and even easier to live in, with space to grow. Full basement (no leaks!) for tackling weekend projects, a garage for one car or dry storage, and a carport/covered patio for protection from the elements while unloading kids and groceries complement the home. Outside, the yard is just the right size for playing, gardening, and a backyard campfire. In this established community known for its natural beauty and peaceful setting just steps from the UK Arboretum, this is the kind of place where memories are made, with so many opportunities to make it your own.
