Overview

Description

Discover a timeless treasure in the heart of downtown Lexington, a historical home that has stood the test of time! Meticulously preserved, this home sits on an impressive half acre, is a proud member of the National Register of Historical Places as well as the Bluegrass Trust of Historic Preservation (BGT), and was once the residence of a prominent horse breeder, Daniel Swigert. Built in 1889, the Swigert House was the first completed dwelling in Fayette Park. From the moment you arrive you will be in awe of the historical preservation this home displays. Standing tall at the entry of Fayette Park the all brick home is dominated by its 3 story round tower. Step into the grand hall and you are surrounded by the breathtaking Irish bog oak trimmings that lead to the intricately carved staircase. Preserved are the hardwood floors, solid wood pocket doors, and wood trims throughout. The owner has made many improvements, such as the installation of the high velocity air conditioning system ...
