1453 Tates Creek Road

This stately Georgian, which was built shortly after Keeneland first opened its gates, is a Lexington classic. A true colonial revival, it has all of the trademarks of a Chevy Chase home - original hardwood floors, sprawling back terrace, and detached, custom-built garage. The modern kitchen features a luxury-sized island topped in American bouquet granite and an under-cabinet wine cellar. The study - with fireplace and built-in bookcases - is irresistibly cozy. The bedrooms are charming and polished with rich, hardwood floors and capacious windows set in a soft, French pallet decorated with crown moulding. The brightly-lit attic, enormous basement, loft over the garage, and hidden parlor - will keep you inspired. This home is situated in close proximity to the University of Kentucky and downtown. Local shops and dining - as well as Woodland and Ashland Park - are within walking.
