Designed by Hugh Meriweather, this exceptional home located on .43 acres and backing to Idle Hour Golf Course has never been offered for sale before. The gracious lines of the home and extraordinary gardens make for an enchanting private escape from the ordinary. The architect captured the halcyon landscape of the golf course and gardens with floor to ceiling windows across the back of the home. Inside there are hardwoods throughout and 5 masonry fireplaces. Each room offers something unique. The beautiful woodwork in the den with built-in cupboards, bay windows, and wooden ceiling beams is spectacular. A spacious Kitchen, formal DR, LR and Study complete the first floor. 3 ensuite bedroom/bathrooms with a 4th bath to service 2 large bedrooms are upstairs. The fully finished basement provides unlimited possibilities. Incomparable, this is a home that cannot be replicated in location or design in Lexington.
