Listing Description

The historic William Lytle Todd House is privately-nestled amidst 32+/- acres along Bowman Mill Road, a National Register Rural Historic District and one of Central Kentucky's most picturesque byways. Constructed ca. 1814 by Todd, a member of the prominent pioneer-era Lexington family, the Federal five-bay, two-story brick home has been remarkably preserved over the course of two centuries. Hallmarks of Federal architecture, such as a large central hall, attractive woodworking, six-panel doors and Flemish bond brickwork are all featured. Perfectly sited atop a knoll and behind mature trees, the home enjoys bucolic views of Cave Creek. Adjoining is a dry-stone walled garden and detached four-car garage with appx. 1,003± sq. ft. of space above. The thoughtfully-designed 12-stall barn has a wash-rack, office with a half bath, feed room & ample loft area. An additional three stalls (and feed/tack room) abut the four-car brick garage shedrow-style. Both are centrally-located within easy access to five paddocks and one expansive field. Exceptionally well-located, the farm is in the immediate vicinity of Bluegrass Farm, Calumet Farm, Godolphin at Jonabell, and Shadwell, to name a few. It's also only 2± miles from Bluegrass Airport, 2.5± miles from Keeneland Race Course, & 2.5± miles from Beaumont.
