Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this spectacular historic renovation of the landmark house in the Lexington Historic District. Set on 2.5+ acres nestled on a hilltop (highest in Lexington) between West Church and HGWY 78, this home is a destination that must be seen (20 minutes to campus). Sellers hired Bonafide Construction to renovate the home literally from top to bottom. We have CDs with renovation pics to show the extent of the work. Owners love this era home yet demand luxury, and this home has the best of the old and new. The kitchen, family room, baths, all have the Martha Stewart touch while maintaining historical integrity. All new infrastructure includes plumbing and electrical throughout (yet owners kept and refurbished the charming push button switches) as well as new roof and mechanical systems. All heart pine and oak floors have been refinished and KIT was stripped to the studs, expanded, and re-constructed. All porches were rebuilt and pickets were added. Bathrooms taken to studs and reconstructed. Vanities of marble quarried from same quarry as marble used in Michaelangeos David! Polished Nickel fixtures. The 10 Fireplaces all have been restored/reconstructed and the Master FP has coal with gas line operated by remote. Dining Room FP is gas coal too. Original light fixtures in DR and formal LR. Huge pocket doors throughout. Center Hall has amazing hearth FP and is a great holiday gathering place. Newly constructed side screen porch is an incredibly inviting and comfortable outdoor living room and is also part of front wraparound porch. The KIT is to die for. Beyond being a fully functioning high end cooks KIT, it also functions as a gathering place and has been so beautifully appointed with subtle soft tones. Range and Hood face family room to keep you part of the party while cooking. Upstairs is another center hall living space with three bedrooms and large bath surrounding. Large dormers add to the room sizes and bath has garden tub/sep shower along with two vanities and a walk-in closet and separate toilet room. Secret room is accessible in back of one of the closets (but which one?). New 3 Car Garage in carriage-house style has double dormers and is ready for an upstairs apartment expansion. Side porches, outbuildings, rolling grounds, rock walls, shade trees! There is just too much more to tell so please call me to schedule a visit to this amazingly renovated home!
