located in an historic area in the downtown area of Lexington, KY. \u00a0The townhouse was built in the 1980&#8217;s, but we had it completely gutted when we purchased it. \u00a0In addtion to replacing all windows, doors, HVAC, hardware, and flooring, we moved and removed walls, reconfigured the floor plan, added a bath, redid the kitchen and all baths, painted every inch, customized the closets and garage, and turned the basement into a storage area, craft room, and guest area.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a
