About this property

LOCATION!!! Downtown Lexington walk everywhere! Safe neighborhood. Big house!

The original family home of David Sayre, built in 1850, this charming 3 BR, 2 full bath and 2 half bath house is in the heart of downtown. Walk to Rupp Arena, fabulous restaurants, parks, Uk, etc. A very short 10 min drive to Keeneland or the Bluegrass Airport. This house oozes charm and history. All original wood floors, fully furnished and owned by a pet friendly family. To be able to walk to such cool places and a myriad of fun spots in a horse racing decorated house is pure Lexington!

There are three good size bedrooms, all on the second floor of the house . The loft bedroom has a queen bed and its own full bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a full bath in the hallway. The 2nd bedroom has two full beds in it and the 3rd bedroom has two full beds.

This is a very large house, I have been told by many of the guests that the photos do not do it justice to convey the size. There are two separate large living rooms, a full size 6 top dining room table, smart TV etc. The washer and dryer are on site and in the basement. There is a half bath off the kitchen and another half bath on the makn floor.

This house literally could not be better located in Lexington. There is a Target a half a block away and a lovely coffee shop right next door in what was Lexington's original first schoolhouse. The street and area is safe and probably 15 restaurants within a 10 minute walk. It has two privately driveways in the back of the house that offer spacious free parking. 10 min walk to Rupp Arena , Lex Live, the Convention Center. etc.

We are complete animal lovers so this is a pet friendly property with a $50 pet fee.

Guest access
The entire house can be accessed by guest, there are two separate entrances in the front and back . The Washer and Dryer are located in the basement of the house that is 170+ years old so the steps may be a bit steep for some down to them. There is also a separate upstairs balcony with seating along with lower balcony and large backyard.

Best weekend all year!
We were in Lexington for the K3Day. The host suggested we also visit Keeneland and arranged for us to get clubhouse tickets. It was amazing! Love the house and its location (great pizza near by!)

Opening Weekend at Keeneland
This property was perfectly located close to downtown Lexington and just a short drive to the track. We brought are grown children and friends with us to enjoy the event. We had 8 people staying and it did seem a little cramped but it was managable. We loves the horse racing motif throughout the house! Hoping to return next year!

Merit Weekend at UK
We came for the weekend for Merit Day at UK. The house was exactly what I had hoped for…clean, spacious, and convenient. I will definitely stay there again when the need arises. Carrie is a wonderful host and I appreciate how accommodating she was to my schedule and needs.

Come From Away
Beautiful home! Spacious! More than plenty of room for the 4 of us. Spent the long weekend in Lexington to see the "Come from Away" performance at the Opera House and take in a few of the sites. Will need to come back when the weather is better to enjoy the countryside. One issue--had an unexpected individual Saturday evening use the patio area alongside the house as a shortcut (twice) from one block to the next. He hopped the gate and kept right on running. Beyond that, a very accommodating stay.

Great Location
The house was in a perfect location for us as our daughter could easily walk from campus and we could easily walk to anywhere we needed. The house had everything we needed and more. It was our first time staying in a historic home and we loved it. The house is larger than expected, and very cozy. The host was very responsive and made us feel welcome. We would 100% stay here again.
