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 Kentuckys 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.

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. Its also only 2 miles from Bluegrass Airport, 2.5 miles from Keeneland Race Course, & 2.5 miles from Beaumont.
