About this home
Nestled in the heart of Bell Court — one of Lexington's most beloved historic neighborhoods, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980 — this charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home puts you just steps from downtown's best restaurants and boutiques, while giving you a quiet, tree-lined retreat to come home to. Bell Court grew up around the historic 1846 Bell House and remains one of the city's most walkable, tight-knit historic enclaves, known for its Victorian and Queen Anne architecture and genuine neighborhood charm. Spanning roughly 2,030 square feet, this home is the full package: historic character paired with thoughtful, modern updates. A large, welcoming front porch with a classic gas light fixture sets the tone before you even step inside. Gleaming hardwood floors and a stunning historic staircase with marble inlay carry that character throughout, while the updated kitchen and bathrooms bring everyday comfort with heated floors in both. Two large and bright bedrooms with hardwood flooring give you space and options on the first and second floor. First floor bath has gorgeous clawfoot tub and upstair has a fully tiled walk in grotto-style shower that is enormous. Out back, a private backyard offers a peaceful outdoor escape that's rare this close to downtown, and the basement, with its own exterior access, is a dry, functional storage space backed by a working sump pump. Off-street parking rounds out the convenience in this historic district. Charming, historic, and move-in ready — 505 Russell Avenue offers the best of beloved Bell Court living! *Virtually enhanced exterior photos due to recent landscaping updates. This yard is private and beautiful and could be brought back to lush gardens....
