About this property
Mid-Century 3 BR In Heart of Downtown Lex
New contemporary home w/in walking distance to Rupp Arena, several breweries, coffee shops, restaurants & Transylvania University. Less than 2 miles to UK campus, 15 mins to Keeneland & the Ky Horse Park. We provide luxurious bedding, plentiful amenities, a chef's kitchen w/ stainless cookware, granite countertops & island. Stream your favorite channels using our hi-speed wifi on the 55" smart TV in the living room or the 43" smart TVs in each bedroom. (No cable.) Easy check-in w/ keyless entry.
We live nearby, but give guests privacy.
Jefferson Street & the Historic Western Suburb is a lively & vibrant neighborhood in the west section of downtown Lexington. You'll notice some revitalization happening nearby, from restored residences to new businesses in formerly-abandoned buildings. We are located on a one-way alley with some run down homes in need of repair, along with other homes that have been renovated. Our street is home to a diverse mix of renters & homeowners. Only a couple blocks from our home, you can visit West 6th Brewery, Smithtown Seafood, County Club, Jefferson Street Coffee shop, The Green Lantern, Blue Stallion Brewery, The Blue Heron Steakhouse, Wine & Market, Distilled, Stella's Deli & Sorella Gelateria. A 5-minute walk will take you to Central Bank Convention Center & Rupp Arena. A 5 minute drive or 10 minute walk will take you to the Distillery District, with restaurants, shops, bars, an ice cream shop & bourbon tastings. Keeneland, the KY Horse Park & the airport are 10-15 minutes away. If you bring your bikes, you can enjoy the Legacy Trail - a 12-mile shared use greenway that connects downtown with area neighborhoods, parks & historic sites. Hop on near our house on West 4th or at West 6th Brewery & ride to the Kentucky Horse Park, savoring the character that makes Lexington truly unique! Also, be sure to be on the lookout for the many murals & public art throughout our neighborhood & downtown!
Guests will have access to the entire home, inside & out. An open kitchen/living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms & a private back patio.
We have taken great care to provide everything you might want in a vacation getaway. The primary bedroom features a king bed, 55" smart TV, walk-in closet w/ luggage rack, hangers, a dresser, a small fan, hand-held steamer, iron & ironing board + & a private en suite with a tiled shower where we provide shampoo, conditioner & body wash that’s good for your hair & the planet. The additional 2 bedrooms feature queen beds, spacious closets with hangers, a luggage rack, a dresser and a shared bathroom with a tub/shower combo, tile surround and a large vanity with drawers for your personal belongings. We provide shampoo, conditioner & body wash in this bathroom too. We think you'll love the plush memory foam mattresses (green certified), down-alternative comforters & the well-appointed kitchen with dining service for 12, local coffee, a variety of tea, sugar & sugar-free packets, an electric tea kettle, 2 coffee makers & a french press. Street parking (free) is available in front of the home or on the adjacent intersecting street.
The surrounding neighborhood is very walkable. Lexington offers bus service, but it's not very efficient for getting around in a timely manner. Uber & Lyft are available. Bird/Spin scooters can be found in & near downtown. Bike racks are plentiful.
If we can do anything to make your visit more enjoyable, please let us know! We are very familiar with local restaurants, bars, breweries, shopping & local events. We want you to have the BEST time & come back often! (And tell your friends how great Lexington is!)

About the host
Hosted by Shevawn Akers
I'm a busy mom, realtor & house beautifier. My husband and I are both from Ky and have lived in Lexington most of our lives. We love to share all the great things Lexington has to offer & love traveling the world ourselves. We are so happy you're staying with us & hope to provide you the BEST experience in our hometown!
Why they chose this property
I love modern design and found a vacant lot downtown, in great proximity to Lexington attractions. I hired an architect who brought my vision to life on paper, then hired a builder who completed the build in August 2022. I love beautifying my city with beautiful homes that feature modern design & colorful decor!
What makes this property unique
The clerestory windows & large front window allow so much natural light into the space. I love the leathered granite island, the gorgeous teal green tile, the stunning black & white star-patterned tile, the king bed in the primary bedroom & all of the luxurious bedding - so soft & heavenly.
