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, 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.
