Overview

Description

Offered for the first time in nearly 30 years, 101 West Short Street is a unique opportunity. Located just one block off East Main Street and directly across from the courthouse plazas, the setting is connected and central. Immediate neighbors include City Center, 21C Museum Hotel, and the Lexington Financial Center. The three-story ca. 1930's building has an attractive façade, with large picture windows framing the first-floor restaurant. Intricate stonework lends further detail. Open space on the second floor is ideal for events or private receptions, while offices occupy the third level. The corner lot has frontage on both West Short Street and North Limestone, with sweeping views of downtown Lexington and room for sidewalk dining areas. The property is fully leased, making it an appealing long and short-term investment.
