Property Description

Location, location, location! The "three L's" truly set this Opera House Square townhome apart. Ideally positioned in the heart of downtown Lexington, you're approximately 1.5 blocks from the new Gatton Park and just moments from Rupp Arena, restaurants, bars, hotels, the Farmers Market, the Opera House, and all the energy of downtown. Yet, with the neighboring church providing a welcome buffer from city activity, this gated community offers a surprising sense of separation and privacy. Inside, the spacious two-story layout offers an excellent foundation for buyers ready to make it their own. The main level features an expansive living room with a gas fireplace and built-in shelving, a dedicated dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar seating, and guest half-bath. Upstairs, the dual-suite design includes two bedrooms, each with a private attached bath, plus a convenient laundry nook. One of the property's standout features is the enclosed, open-air brick garden patio—a rare find among competing downtown properties and an inviting spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. An outdoor shed provides additional storage. Recent enhancements include updated light fixtures in the kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint, and newly drywalled living room accents. Concrete-block separation walls shared by only select units further enhance the feeling of privacy and quiet. With a great layout, exceptional downtown location, and hard-to-find private outdoor space, this property presents an exciting opportunity to renovate, customize, and create a downtown residence tailored to your style. The HOA is just $185, and the seller has already paid a $5,000 assessment, which the seller indicates is anticipated to cover association needs for approximately the next five years. Bring your vision and take advantage of an opportunity to make this ideally located downtown townhome your own.

ABOUT US

Our Story

From Humble Beginnings to a Nationwide Movement

At simpliHŌM, we know firsthand that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, families, and the places they call home. Our journey didn’t begin in a boardroom or with limitless resources. It began with adversity.

Our Founder & CEO, Sean Miku, once found himself on food stamps, without a home, and forced to pick the lock on a water meter just to give his baby girl her first bath. Out of those struggles came a relentless determination to build something better — not only for his own family, but for every agent and client who deserved a simpler, more supportive way to experience real estate.

With just $30,000 and four agents, simpliHŌM was launched in 2018. From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a thriving, people-first brokerage spanning multiple states and serving thousands of agents nationwide — all driven by the same mission: Making Real Estate Simple.

Our Mission: Making Real Estate Simple

We believe real estate should be transparent, efficient, and personal. At simpliHŌM, relationships are at the heart of every transaction. Our mission is to remove the unnecessary complexity and stress, creating a seamless experience for clients and empowering agents to thrive.
