Location, location, location! The 'three L's' truly set this Opera House Square townhome apart. Ideally positioned in the heart of downtown Lexington, you're approximately 1.5 blocks from the new Gatton Park and just moments from Rupp Arena, restaurants, bars, hotels, the Farmers Market, the Opera House, and all the energy of downtown. Yet, with the neighboring church providing a welcome buffer from city activity, this gated community offers a surprising sense of separation and privacy. Inside, the spacious two-story layout offers an excellent foundation for you to make it your own. The main level features an expansive living room with a gas fireplace and built-in shelving, a dedicated dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar seating, and guest half-bath. Upstairs, the dual-suite design includes two bedrooms, each with a private attached bath, plus a convenient laundry nook. One of the property's standout features is the enclosed, open-air brick garden patio--a rare find among competing downtown properties and an inviting spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. An outdoor shed provides additional storage. Recent enhancements include updated light fixtures in the kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint, and newly drywalled living room accents. Concrete-block separation walls shared by only select units further enhance the feeling of privacy and quiet. With a great layout, exceptional downtown location, and hard-to-find private outdoor space, this property presents an exciting opportunity to live in a cool neighborhood.
