1014 Richmond Road

Nestled in the heart of historic Ashland Park, this 1925 residence stands as a rare example of timeless architecture paired with thoughtful modern refinement. A grand 12-foot-wide Palladian entry, framed by marble walls and sandstone columns, sets the tone the moment you arrive. The front terrace offers a gracious outdoor gathering space, with fan-lighted French doors that open directly into the dining room—an inviting flow that speaks to the home’s original purpose: elegant entertaining. Inside, the scale is unmistakably classic. The 28-foot living room is anchored by an impressive Italian marble fireplace, a true statement piece imported from Italy, and tall windows that fill the room with natural light. A Palladian door leads seamlessly into the solarium, where a cast- iron working wall fountain adds charm and character few homes can claim. The remodeled and enlarged kitchen blends today’s function with timeless style, offering custom cabinetry with glass-front doors, generous workspace, and an adjoining butler’s pantry—ideal for hosting, staging, and everyday ease. The second level features four comfortable bedrooms and three baths, including access to a lovely screened sun porch that feels pulled from another era. The third floor provides excellent flex space—perfect for a home office, studio, or a teenager’s retreat. Outside, the 2-car garage includes a finished room with a full bath, making it an excellent option for an office, art studio, or guest suite. A home of this quality, preserved and elevated over a century, rarely becomes available. It delivers heritage, craftsmanship, and livability in one of Lexington’s most treasured neighborhoods. Ideally located minutes from downtown Lexington, Chevy Chase shopping, restaurants, and the University of KY.
