Ideal for investors seeking a stabilized, income-producing asset, this portfolio also presents an outstanding opportunity for an owner-occupant. Live in one unit while the remaining residences help offset your mortgage, create a multigenerational living arrangement, or capitalize on future rental upside. Whether maintained as a long-term cash-flow investment, repositioned through future rent optimization, or utilized as a premium house hack, the portfolio offers multiple value-creation strategies. Priced well below its 2025 appraised value, this offering provides the potential for immediate equity in addition to dependable cash flow and long-term appreciation. Opportunities to acquire two adjacent, Historic Preservation Award-winning duplexes with a shared parking lot in such a premier downtown location are exceptionally rare. This is a truly one-of-a-kind chance to own a landmark investment in one of Lexington's most sought-after neighborhoods.
