Tucked into one of Lexington’s storied pre-war neighborhoods, this center hall design reinterprets classic American Colonial Revival architecture and draws inspiration from the proportions and symmetry of surrounding homes built from the 1920s through 1940s.

The design reflects the timelessness of traditional American Colonial style, complete with brick masonry, crisp white trim, and carefully scaled dormers. Shuttered windows and classical detailing add to the historic character. The formal front elevation gives way to a more relaxed and layered rear façade, where porches and outdoor living spaces overlook an adjoining golf course.

Inside, the living space is organized around a traditional center hall plan. Graciously proportioned rooms open along the axis of the hall, creating a sense of order. Light-filled formal spaces are balanced by warm, inviting family areas – each designed for daily life, entertaining, and connection.

The kitchen and family room anchor the main level, offering a central gathering place that seamlessly transitions to the outdoor terraces and porches. Upstairs, bedroom suites provide both privacy and functionality.

The lower level includes a golf simulator and gym spaces, creating dedicated space for wellness and recreation without compromising architectural style. Throughout the entire home, traditional detailing, carefully considered trim profiles, window proportions, and material selections all reinforce a sense of permanence and craftsmanship.

This center hall residence is a study in architectural continuity. While remaining rooted in the historic fabric of its neighborhood, this residence will offer a refined setting for contemporary family life for generations to come.
