Property Description

A grand dame of historic Midway, this stately 1888 Victorian/Queen Anne residence offers beautiful architectural details along with elegant proportions of the era. Distinguished by its Blue Grass Trust designation, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home features stained glass windows & doors throughout, generously sized bedrooms, two staircases???including a beautifully refinished formal staircase???and an exceptional abundance of closets and storage rarely found in a historic home. All windows have been replaced with custom-fitted storm windows and screens throughout, improving energy efficiency, reducing outside noise, and providing a tighter seal against drafts. Formal living and dining rooms offer space for entertaining, while a comfortable den with a gas fireplace just off the kitchen provides a welcoming spot for everyday gathering. Two additional flex spaces on the first floor offer possibilities for home offices, guest accommodations, or additional bedrooms. The large primary suite boasts two cedar-lined closets and a spacious bath with a soaring ceiling, soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. A convenient second-floor laundry room with utility sink adds everyday practicality, while a generous attic with pull-down stairs provides additional storage and houses a second HVAC unit. Expansive covered porches at the front and rear invite a slower pace???morning coffee overlooking the garden, a quiet afternoon with a book, or evening conversations as the landscape lighting illuminates the grounds. The rear patio incorporates salvaged brick from renowned Dixiana Farm, adding another distinctive connection to the Bluegrass. The backyard, fully enclosed by iron fencing, features lush, established plantings of hydrangeas, holly, clematis, viburnum, and magnolia, complemented by dry-stacked raised stone planting beds and an irrigation system on a separate water meter. Freshly painted siding, predominantly made of durable Hardie board, copper gutters and downspouts, a detached one-car garage, and a Ring security system complete this remarkable residence???a gracious setting for enjoying the charm and rhythms of a beautiful life lived in historic Midway.
