Property Description
Priced below appraised value, this beautifully updated ranch offers exceptional indoor-outdoor living on more than half an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Lexington's desirable Idle Hour neighborhood. Highlights include three bedrooms, three full baths, an in-ground pool, a fenced backyard and an oversized detached two-car garage with flexible bonus space. Inside, a welcoming foyer with custom geometric millwork opens to a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The renovated kitchen features a large gathering island, quartz countertops, Café appliances and a gas double-oven convection range. An adjoining dining area with classic wainscoting provides convenient access to the backyard, deck and pool. The primary suite offers private backyard access, an adjoining flex space, a generous walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with heated tile floors, dual vanities and a fully tiled, dual-head shower. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath and a well-appointed laundry room complete the main bedroom wing. Designed for entertaining, the expansive recreation room features soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, geometric millwork, a third full bath and direct pool-deck access. Outside, the private backyard feels like a retreat with its in-ground pool, mature landscaping, inviting gazebo and multiple areas for gathering and relaxing. An electric gate leads to the oversized two-car garage and its attached bonus room with a half bath. Currently used as an art studio, this versatile space could also serve as a home office, fitness room, golf simulator or pool house. A whole-home water-filtration system and convenient access to shopping, dining, parks and downtown Lexington complete this distinctive Idle Hour property.
