About 870 Mcmeekin Place
This elegant and impeccably maintained estate is nestled in Lexington's coveted McMeekin subdivision, where privacy meets sophistication. A circular drive and welcoming front porch—framed by enviable leaded-glass sidelights—set the tone for what lies within. Inside, a marble foyer and gleaming hardwood floors open to light-filled living and dining spaces. The oversized family room, complete with fireplace, built-ins, and wet bar, flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen, where Thermador and SubZero appliances, marble countertops, and a breakfast bar make both cooking and gathering a delight. Adjacent to the kitchen, is the enclosed wraparound porch with a wall of windows overlooking lush gardens, while a private hot tub room offers a retreat of its own. The primary suite is a sanctuary featuring a fireplace, dressing room, custom closet, and a spa-worthy Laura Dalzell-designed bath with Italian marble and soaking tub. Additional bedrooms, versatile bonus rooms, and a vaulted third-floor suite provide flexible living for family or guests, while the finished lower level extends the lifestyle with a rec room, office, kitchenette, and workshop. Outdoors, a private, maturely landscaped yard with masonry patio enjoys direct access to UK's beautiful grounds. Blending timeless craftsmanship with an unrivaled location, this home backs to the UK Arboretum and is within walking distance of stadiums, parks, schools, hospitals, and Chevy Chase. This home is a once in a lifetime opportunity ready for your future memories.
