Property Description

Discover a private Bluegrass retreat on 11.4 acres in Hillgate, where contemporary architecture meets rolling green views and the quiet sounds of the countryside. Designed by noted architect Herb Greene and known as the O'Neill House, this distinctive residence combines expansive windows, a dramatic three-story dining atrium, and open living spaces that connect beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Tucked off Old Richmond Road with convenient interstate access, the property offers a secluded setting approximately 20 minutes from downtown Lexington. Thoughtful renovations enhance the home while preserving its distinctive architectural character. The kitchen offers new cabinetry, appliances, and a wine refrigerator, while refinished floors add warmth throughout the interior. Updates also include new living room windows and a sliding glass door by Renewal by Andersen, a renovated third-floor bathroom, and a new washer and dryer. Multiple fireplaces and versatile living spaces create comfortable settings for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home. The primary suite features an oversized en-suite and a generous sized closet. Newly finished guest space above the garage offers flexibility for visitors, a studio, or a home office. A large finished basement with marble flooring provides additional room to gather and unwind, while a steam shower and sauna bring a spa-like experience home. Outside, balconies, terraces, creeks, a bocce court, and multiple outdoor living areas invite everything from quiet morning coffee to evenings entertaining beneath the stars. Additional improvements include rooftop solar panels, a new main electrical panel, a water heater installed in 2025, radon mitigation, and new front, office, and side entry doors. The expanded garage includes added storage, cabinets, and a workbench, complemented by an outdoor shed. Replaced garage entry pavers, a replacement retaining wall, and patio lighting complete the updates. This distinctive Hillgate property brings together architectural character, thoughtful improvements, and space to enjoy Kentucky country living close to the city.
