Welcome home to 130 Ransom Avenue! Situated on a quiet street in the Aylesford Historic District, this charming property is a stone's throw from Kentucky Native Cafe, Woodland Park, and an ever-growing assortment of restaurants and retail in the heart of downtown Lexington. The covered front porch invites you inside, where you'll find a spacious, natural light-filled living room with gleaming original hardwood floors and a masonry fireplace. The dining room/home office is a beautifully functional space, separated by French doors and overlooking the back yard. The kitchen features stainless appliances with a gas range, a walk-in pantry area, and a wine refrigerator! A guest half bath completes the first floor amenities. Upstairs is home to three generously sized bedrooms, with one currently retrofitted as the closet of your dreams(!) but easily converted back into a space for growing families. A full bathroom with tiled shower and pedestal sink finish out the second floor. Once you're ready to venture outside, you'll fall in love with the large deck overlooking a peaceful back yard retreat, highlighted by tasteful landscaping and privacy fencing all around. Historically significant properties like this one don't come around often, especially with such desirable surroundings. Schedule your private tour today!

Planned Neighborhood Residential Zone
The intent of this zone is to provide for medium density mixed residential development, including multi-family dwellings, group residential housing, compact housing types, attached and detached single family dwellings, and supporting uses. This zone should be located in areas of the community where services and facilities are/will be adequate to serve the anticipated population. This zone should provide a variety of housing options rather than a single type. The medium density residential uses should be located along local and collector streets, with lower density residential uses located along local streets. Adequate multi-modal connections should be available to all residents, so to allow for long term viability and incremental growth. Low and Medium density residential land uses should be established in accordance with the Goals, Objectives, Policies, and Development Criteria of the Comprehensive Plan.
