705 Roland Ave, Lexington, KY 40505

A rare opportunity to own a beautiful estate situated on 4 acres in the heart of an established Lexington neighborhood. Designed & constructed in the late 1940's by renowned architect & builder Robert McMeekin, the style will look familiar, as McMeekin was the winner of a contest held in 1935 to select the designer for the clubhouse & grandstand at Keeneland. Beautiful hand laid Kentucky limestone is the defining exterior feature of this home. The main house features a grand entry with marble floor & sweeping staircase, beautiful paneled library, formal living & dining rooms, large butler's pantry & adjacent eat in kitchen, & a cozy den with abundant natural light. There are a total of 4 or 5 bedrooms in the main house, plus 5 full baths & a half bath. The partial basement provides abundant storage, a thermostatically controlled wine cellar, full bath, & mechanical room. See photos for details on the detached garage with guest quarters, pool house, and playhouse.
