Overview

Description

Probably one of Lexington's most remarkable and notable estate-sized homes on the grand boulevard of Richmond Road. Known fondly as the Tudor House, it has a fascinating history with famous Obidiah Bass as architect and Burgess Carey as the builder. This glorious structure displays unmatched elegance and old world charm, with 6 fireplaces, high beamed ceilings, walled garden with terraces and private heated pool. Originally built as a luxury duplex for the family with each having a private separate entrance with the third floor to be used for servants or children, now being used with access to all three floors from the first level, it easily could be converted back into two dwellings, one for in town use, one for entertaing out of town guests, for horse sales or the races.
