Welcome to this timeless gem in the heart of Ashland Park, one of Lexington's most beloved and walkable neighborhoods. Set on nearly 0.3 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees, this historic home blends classic architecture with modern comfort. Step onto the inviting covered front porch, complete with acopper roof and gas lantern, and feel instantly at home. Inside, the gracious foyer features a stunning staircase with a large landing overlooking the backyard. To the left, a sunlit family room with the original fireplace is perfect for relaxing or hosting friends. Just beyond, a cozy denlined with custom bookshelves makes the ideal reading nook. There's also a separate home office with built-ins, dual closets, and direct access to the yard. The formal dining room flows into a bright kitchen with breakfast bar and table-height dining area, a built-in buffet, and a generous pantry. Off the kitchen is a living room that connects to a mudroom with additional storage. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace with original tile and bath with vaulted ceilings, double vanities, a soaking tub, and a steam shower—plus a large walk-in closet and upstairs laundry. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths, all with original hardwood floors, provide plenty of space for family or guests. Need more room? The finished attic offers flexible space for a playroom, media room, or guest retreat. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard and side yard, perfect for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing. Mature trees, lush landscaping, and a wood privacy fence create a peaceful, private escape. This home has been thoughtfully updated with major system improvements, including upgraded electrical service (no knob-and-tube!) in 2025, a new roof and gutters in 2021, and new upstairs HVAC units and hot water heater in 2024—to name a few. Just a short walk to the Henry Clay Estate, Chevy Chase shops, and some of Lexington's favorite dining spots, this home offers a rare blend of history, lifestyle, and location.
