About this home
Step into one of Lexington's most treasured homes -- a striking Italianate masterpiece with a story as beautiful as its architecture. Built circa 1872 as the official parsonage for Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, this iconic residence has stood proudly on West Third Street for over 150 years, offering timeless elegance and an irreplaceable sense of presence in the Northside Historic District . Designed with care and craftsmanship attributed to Cincinnatus Shryock, the home features hallmark Italianate elements including tall arched windows, ornate bracketed cornices, and a symmetrical, commanding façade . Inside, soaring ceilings, beveled and leaded glass windows, original hardwood floors, and six fireplaces set the tone for a space that is both stately and warmly livable. Every detail has been lovingly restored or enhanced. The sunroom addition, flooded with natural light, creates a peaceful retreat that flows seamlessly into the designer kitchen--complete with Taj Mahal quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and elegant brass accents. The bathrooms feature a curated mix of vintage tile, marble finishes, and thoughtful modern updates that preserve the home's character while elevating everyday comfort. Upstairs, a private copper-roofed balcony overlooks a partially fenced backyard filled with mature trees, providing a quiet escape in the heart of downtown. The detached garage, updated zoned HVAC, modern electrical systems, and preserved period millwork offer a rare fusion of historic integrity and present-day convenience. This home's legacy is matched only by its livability. It's walkable to Gratz Park, Jefferson Street dining, and Transylvania University, and is recognized by the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation -- a designation that ensures its beauty and cultural importance will be safeguarded for years to come . More than just a home, 448 West Third Street is a landmark -- lovingly restored, remarkably maintained, and ready to inspire its next chapter....
