Ryland House $209,900

Ryland House is a charming Greek Revival, an immaculately maintained early 20th century home in Lexington's Historic Neighborhoods district. It turned 100 years old in January, 2012! A favorite on the annual Historic Homes Tour, it was built by Dr. Caius Tacitus Ryland, one of Lexington's most beloved family doctors. Completely renovated 1999-2000, with working wood burning fireplace, pocket doors, built in bookcases, Kraftmaid kitchen, tiled baths, updated electrical and newer HVAC. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms and three full bathrooms: 3 bedrooms and 1 bath on top floor, Master suite and bath on main floor, and finished basement with kitchenet, bedroom, full bath and storage. Room for half baths in upstairs bedroom closets. Beautiful hardwood floors on ground floor, lovely fir floors upstairs. A successful B&B with a steady customer base due to walking proximity to Wentworth Military Academy. Ryland House has been run as a B&B on a weekends-only basis; full time management would capture the impulse and weekday traffic. Ryland House has a very dry basement suite, finished in 2009, with separate entrance and privacy for manager or customers. The side porch (pictured) was completely weatherproofed and renovated in 2011. Attic is fully floored but unfinished, suitable for children’s room or storage. Separate 2 car "cottage" garage can be updated for additional suite or manager's quarters, if desired. House is freshly painted, has a fully fenced yard (antique wrought iron and picket) and antique gardens - peonies, lilacs, lily-of-the-valley, roses, redbuds, hydrangeas, crepe myrtle, and an amazing dogwood. Price includes professionally designed website (Rylandhouse.net), appliances, and some fixtures; furniture negotiable.
