This is a large, 1300 sf newly remodeled ground floor apartment with a private patio and open views to the east toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. The apartment has a separate, private entrance. (If you look at the photos, you walk down a path between the house and barn and along a gravel path to the apartment). There’s a very large living area with a conversation grouping, 48” Samsung smart TV, a Nordic Trak in the corner for gentle use, and a reading nook. The bedroom has a new queen-sized bed and ensuite bath, and there’s a double futon in the main living area. The kitchen has a full fridge, 2-burner induction cooktop, and microwave/convection oven combo, along with plenty of cooking gear. The spot is very peaceful and beautiful, while being convenient to town. Guests have exclusive use of the back patio (there’s a back porch to the main house up a set of stairs at the edge of the patio, so sound can potentially carry over). We’re on a quiet paved road that serves only the 15 houses in the neighborhood. The place is 2.5 miles from the East Lexington bridge over the Maury River, and 3 miles from downtown Lexington. The drive takes 8 or 9 minutes. My wife and I live in the house above the apartment, and have a beagle that occasionally bays but has never been aggressive. We’re located about a half mile from the middle access to the Chessie Trail, a hiking/biking path that follows the Maury River from Lexington to Buena Vista. It’s 9 miles from the house to the Skyline Parkway, and there are numerous great hikes in the area.
