The Boude-Deaver House (c. 1874), prominently situated at the top of South Main Street in historic downtown Lexington, features sophisticated Gothic Revival architecture on over 1/2 acre with brick-walled gardens, a period guest cottage, and detached two-car garage. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable property has been significantly renovated and offers expansive outdoor and indoor spaces ideal for hosting and entertaining including private gardens, a spacious living room, and a large kitchen and dining room perfect for dinner parties. Built to the highest standards, the structural brick residence boasts gorgeous exterior details including a slate shingle roof, bay windows, a widow's walk with ornamental metal railing, and bargeboards with cutouts.

Among many stunning interior features are the heart pine floors, large living spaces with high ceilings and bold moldings, and a twisting staircase leading to two luxurious upstairs suites. The brick guest cottage, built contemporaneously with the main residence, includes one bedroom and one full bathroom, offering additional flexible living space and income potential. The detached two-car garage with an upper-level storage area provides modern convenience and an opportunity for added finished space. Ideal for gardeners, the verdant grounds highlighted by a curved brick privacy wall showcase blooming varieties and a secret garden secluded in a central location. Set among other stately historic homes, this coveted location is a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants, Washington and Lee University, and Virginia Military Institute.
