Lexington, Ky. – A cornerstone of Lexington's rich heritage and a beloved local landmark, the Peter Paul House, has been listed for sale by Christie's International Real Estate Bluegrass. Instantly recognizable for its distinctive pink-painted brick, this 1816 Federal-style residence stands as a testament to the city's architectural legacy and offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Lexington’s storied past within the refined Gratz Park Historic District.
Over the centuries, the Peter Paul House has been thoughtfully expanded and lovingly curated by generations of owners, each contributing to its rich architectural and cultural legacy. Original features, such as wooden-pegged window frames, original shutters, and ornamental coal-burning fireplaces, have been meticulously preserved, while additions like the recessed Greek Revival doorway and a stunning expansion by architectural historian Clay Lancaster contribute to its unique architectural narrative. Inside, the home offers refined living across a welcoming foyer, a den, a striking central hall with 11-foot ceilings, a custom kitchen, and two primary suites. Outside, a beautiful brick courtyard framed by lush landscaping and a majestic ginkgo tree, rumored to have been planted by Kentucky statesman Henry Clay, provides a serene escape.
The home is on the market for $1,150,000, exclusively represented by Rusty Underwood and Rachel Underwood of Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass.
"This isn't just a piece of real estate; it's the transfer of a profound legacy," said Rusty Underwood, Owner, CEO, and Realtor® at Christie's International Real Estate Bluegrass. "The Peter Paul House is visually iconic, a beacon for our community, but its true significance lies in the multitude of stories – told and untold – within its walls. There have been few, but notable Lexingtonians who have called this remarkable place home. We are honored to find a new steward who will cherish its history and continue its enduring story for generations to come."
