Step into a rare piece of Lexington history with this exquisite c.1812 residence, known as Rose Hill or the John Brand House. Perfectly situated on nearly an acre just blocks from the energy of downtown, this distinguished property blends historic charm with modern updates in a truly remarkable setting. The main house, offering one-level living, features soaring 13-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and graciously proportioned rooms ideal for entertaining. A welcoming entry foyer leads to a spacious living room, formal dining room, cozy den, and four bedrooms with three full baths. Recent renovations include a stunning kitchen framed by brick and glass walls, opening to a beautifully landscaped private patio—an inviting space that connects seamlessly to the carriage house and gardens beyond. The luxurious primary suite includes walk-in closets and renovated bath, offering comfort and elegance in equal measure. The detached carriage house is ideal for guests - complete with living area, kitchen, bedroom, dressing room, and full bath. Additional features include a charming smokehouse (ideal for a potting shed), a newer 2-car garage w/loft storage and ample off street parking.
