We are pleased to present an exceptional opportunity to purchase or lease a premier creative office building in the heart of Downtown Lexington. Located at 146 E. Third Street, this property showcases a remarkable historic renovation that blends timeless architectural character with modern design and functionality. Originally constructed in 1840, the two-story building offers appx. 6,848 SF above grade plus an additional 410 SF of finished lower-level space, ideal for storage or supplemental workspace. Upon entry, the first floor greets visitors with original hardwood floors, exposed brick, and contemporary finishes. Highlights include a distinguished boardroom with folding privacy doors, granite counters, and a fireplace that flows seamlessly into a spacious library featuring custom maple cabinetry and quartz countertops. A tiled kitchenette with dishwasher, two restrooms (including a full bath with shower), and direct access to a flexible garage space with a drive-in door further enhance the main level. An elevator and steel-wrapped open stairwell with expansive windows provide convenience and natural light throughout. The second floor is equally impressive, offering vaulted ceilings with exposed joists, generous open work areas with hardwood floors, and abundant daylight. A private sundeck with custom railing offers striking views of the Lexington skyline.

The second floor offers large open workspaces, additional bathroom, and wonderfully lit breezeway leading to the rooftop deck. Meticulously Remodeled: The building underwent a complete renovation in 2015, adding modern touches while preserving many of the original architectural finishes. Upgrades include all new mechanical systems, a new roof, new windows, new rear staircase and an elevator. Move-In Ready: The building is suitable for a number of professional users and is move in ready. The workable layout also offers flexibility for minor modifications if needed. Location: The property is located in the heart of Downtown Lexington surrounded by an abundance of retail, restaurants, and more
