About this property
Spacious, downtown retreat overlooking historic Bell Place park
Relax, create or entertain in this private, downtown get-away, artfully furnished for comfort with high ceilings, hardwood floors and shady outdoor dining and lounging areas. This spacious 1911 home has an open first floor with living & dining rooms, library, dine-in kitchen, home office/ TV room and one powder room with tub/shower. Upstairs has an additional home office, 3 bedrooms, and 2 more full baths. There is a children’s play area in the basement for rainy days.
Gather or dine, in seating areas indoors or out. Luxurious for a romantic escape or creative retreat. Ideal for families, spending the summer with grandchildren, and extended stay travelers seeking the comforts of home and the convenience of downtown.
Stretch your legs in Bell Park across the street, or continue along Main Street to restaurants, the Kentucky Theatre and downtown events. A convenient and care-free base for touring the Blue Grass, exploring the Red River Gorge or sampling Lexington’s galleries, shops, eateries and arenas. The Woodland Pool and recreation area are also walking distance.

Five stars all the way
Most renters know that a good rental is not just about the property, but just as importantly, about the relationship with the landlord. In this age of increasing corporate dominance of the short-term rental market, it is refreshing to be able to deal directly with property owners who actually inhabit the property. This rental is N and M'S long-loved home. They have intimate knowledge of its workings and quirks that an arms-length landlord simply can't match. More importantly, they treat their renters with respect. They never intrude, but are very responsive if needed. As for the property itself, the house has everything you need. If you work from home you will have a fiber optic internet connection. The location can't be beat. You're in the heart of town, and yet in a peaceful environment. The location is a walker's paradise. We enjoyed our summer stay, and recommend this rental without reservation.
