Description

Step into a remarkable piece of Lexington's history with this exquisitely restored Federalist-style residence located in the Historic South Hill Neighborhood, part of the James Lemon Rowhouses, built in 1812 and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This home was originally owned by James Lemon, a native of Ireland, Revolutionary War veteran who was very entrepreneurial, he was a tailor, brick yard owner, and farmer who settled in Fayette County in the early 1800s. In 1825, Lemon hosted the famed Marquis de Lafayette in this very home during his celebrated visit to Lexington—forever tying this residence to the city's historic fabric. While deeply rooted in heritage, the home's recent transformation by Greystone Construction brings it gracefully into the modern era. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and premium finishes, blending the warmth of history with contemporary sophistication. Both bathrooms have been completely redesigned—the primary suite now includes a custom walk-in tile shower, luxurious soaking tub, designer vanities, and a private laundry room conveniently attached. The guest bath offers its own custom walk-in shower, high-end fixtures, and elegant detailing that echo the home's refined aesthetic. The primary ensuite serves as a luxurious retreat with a coffee and champagne bar, comfortable sitting area, and thoughtful modern touches, including an automated recessed television and motorized window shades—a seamless blend of indulgence and innovation. With two laundry areas and a well-designed layout, the home effortlessly balances historic charm with modern functionality. Enjoy Lexington's beautiful seasons from the covered porches on both the first and second levels, perfect for relaxing mornings or entertaining evenings. Located just steps from downtown's premier restaurants, shops, and cultural destinations, this extraordinary property represents the best of both worlds—a rare fusion of historical prestige and modern luxury in one of Lexington's most storied neighborhoods.
