Property Description
Welcome to 1867 Parkers Mill Rd, a rare architectural gem in the heart of Lexington. Designed by renowned architect Hugh Meriwether as his personal home, and a former home of one of Kentucky's governors, this stunning Colonial Revival Cottage Estate blends historical charm with modern updates on nearly 2 private acres just minutes from Keeneland, Downtown, and Blue Grass Airport. Crafted from hand-cut Kentucky limestone, the home exudes warmth from the moment you arrive.
Inside, the home is filled with character and elegant details you won't find in today's builds. It features 8 bedrooms, (two are optional use rooms... bedrooms or to use as an office and craft room) 8 bathrooms, including 2 that have a Jack & Jill shower, and 6 original fireplaces that anchor the home's inviting living spaces. 5 years of recent renovations thoughtfully preserve the home's historic integrity, including a first-floor primary suite with dual dressing rooms - there's room for everyone to spread out, settle in, and feel at home.
The fully finished walk-out basement enhances the home's flexibility, featuring a private apartment with a separate entrance—ideal for guests, a nanny or in-law suite. The heated and cooled two-car garage adds year-round functionality, making life here as practical as it is beautiful.
The landscape redesign incorporates the mature landscape foundation while adding sprinkler systems, extensive new plantings, hardscape, a reconfigured seasonal creek, and more, all offering both beauty and privacy, with endless potential for outdoor living, entertaining, or even equestrian use. The property also has a storage building that has been repurposed into a lovely garden shed with air conditioning and decking plus a charming two story playhouse for the youngsters to enjoy.
This is more than a home it's a rare legacy property that seamlessly blends architectural elegance, modern comfort, and serene privacy in one of Lexington's most desirable locations.
