Welcome to this stunning ranch style home on a finished basement on nearly half an acre in Lexington's highly sought-after Lans-Merrick neighborhood! Sitting on a quiet dead-end street, this 5BR, 3BA home feeds directly into top schools (Julius Marks, Morton, Henry Clay) and is a short stroll from the newly upgraded Lansdowne-Merrick Park playground. The main level boasts an inviting foyer, a dedicated home office/bedroom, a formal living/dining combo, and an updated kitchen with a cozy dining area and a breakfast bar. The impressive great room features striking exposed beams, a cozy fireplace, wet bar and access to a spacious back deck plus a screened porch overlooking a very private backyard. Unwind in the primary suite with its own deck access perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. Enjoy a double vanity sink with plenty of cabinet and countertop space, a large walk-in closet and step-in shower. The basement adds a family room, a full bath, a dedicated workshop/craft room, and two bonus bedrooms (note: basement bedrooms lack egress windows). Parking is a cinch in the 2 car attached garage plus plenty of driveway space. After purchasing the home, Sellers regraded the front yard, replaced existing drain with a comprehensive 360-degree French drain across the entire front and to brick on the left side and reinforced the foundation wall by adding additional support.
