Circa 1812, this originally Stephen Holland Reid built, Federal style home located in downtown Lexington has been gutted down to the studs & is ready for you to reimagine. After an unexpected family event, the current owners are placing the home on the market in hopes that someone else can lovingly finish what they started- Meticulous detail went into the anticipated renovation along with all local & historical permits/approvals & has been extremely well documented every step of the way. Boasting a 3 bedroom 2 full & 2 half bath footprint, this home now stands tall & strong after extensive repairs were made which include an entire rebuild of the back of the areas that house the kitchen, living room, & primary suite- all brick work performed by Miles Miller & Supervising Contractor was Mike Mitchell. Tuckpointing to the entire structure & all new exterior paint. The basement was excavated to achieve 7'6'' ceiling clearance for a ''speak easy'' along with a half bath & laundry room. AS-IS sale. Brick pavers were placed as the new flooring for the basement & original beams exposed for the ceiling. All new windows, new gutters, new plumbing, 2 new carriage style garage doors, 2 new hvac units have been installed & much more (a list on file). 3 structures sit on the property which include the main house (2938sqft), a gardening shed, & 2 car detached garage with guest quarter/ apartment above (w/655 sqft., ready to be reimagined as well).
