Overview

Description

Pettit Place, at 316 West Second Street, is a classic yet modern urban residence wholly unique in the market. Opposite historic Gratz Park, steps away from Lexington's CBD and only minutes driving from Keeneland, Fasig-Tipton and the KY Horse Park, this offering is a downtown gem. Designed by acclaimed Lexington architect Van Meter Pettit for his father and constructed in 2004 by Greg Martelli using select and creatively-sourced materials. The distinctive veranda-graced façade features antique brick, mahogany, and cedar. The airy floorplan (@4389sft) is enhanced by dramatic tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and a synergy of outdoor spaces and thoughtful privacy. Features include 4BR/4BA, luxurious kitchen and baths, elevator, first-floor primary bedroom, laundry room, porches for relaxation & entertaining, a spacious landscaped courtyard with fountain & a secured two-car garage. Zoned B2B. We are pleased to provide a detailed prospectus and to arrange a guided tour upon request.
