Home of the Week: An Impressive Early Classic Revival

By Michele Taranto

This impressive early classic revival was thoughtfully crafted to provide its residents the ultimate in luxurious settings while still embracing the familial needs of warm, inviting space. From the minute prospective homebuyers enter into the dramatic 27 foot two-story marble foyer and are greeted with a grand bridal staircase, they immediately realize they have encountered a special residence. From its unique and robust architecture to its well appointed details, every structural detail was given the highest priority. That thoroughness also applies to its fluid floor plan that boasts banquet-sized rooms spilling into one another yet still respecting their intended functions.

The first level includes both formal and informal rooms, beginning with the 26 x 16 square foot fireplaced living room and the 20 x 16 square foot dining area naturally lit through a turret of windows. The expansive 33 x 16 square foot gourmet kitchen has been equipped with only premier ingredients and opens into a sunken 21 x 21 square foot family room with a stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace and mahogany barrel-style ceiling. This level concludes with a private 15 x 15 square foot library with custom built-ins and a tailored wood-beamed ceiling and an au-pair wing with a 15 x 12 square foot bedroom suite with a full bath.

The second level hosts three bedrooms with a 22 x 16 square foot master suite with a walk-in closet and full deluxe bath, two bedrooms at 19 x 16 and 16 x 15 square feet and a bonus room. The third story offers more private lodging options with a 16 x 12 square foot bedroom suite and full bath. The substantial lower level features leisure options with a 35 x 25 square foot playroom, a 16 x 11 square foot game room/office and a 16 x 15 square foot exercise room.

For outdoor recreation, this home supplies the perfect resort-styled acre lot with a heated in-ground Gunite pool, hot tub and sport court.

This magnificent property is sited in one of Lexington's most prestigious neighborhoods, so the expectation of lavish accommodations would be understandable, however, it would be difficult to prepare prospective homebuyers for the level this home bestows to its residents. This is truly a home its occupants will be proud to own and a pleasure to reside in.
