380 Oldham

About

A 1900 cottage with three jobs.

380 Oldham Avenue is a two-story cottage built around 1900 in the Aylesford Place – Woodland Park neighborhood of Lexington, Kentucky, one block off the University of Kentucky campus. This site is the house's own record: the rooms, the measurements, the systems behind the walls, the street it sits on, and the terms for using it. It exists because the same house does three different jobs, and each one needs a different set of answers written down in one place instead of scattered across listing platforms.

The first job is a short stay. Families in for graduation, game weekends, Keeneland meets and Rupp Arena shows rent the whole house for a few nights and walk to most of it. The second is a furnished mid-term stay of thirty nights to a year for travel nurses at UK Chandler Hospital, visiting faculty, relocating households and insurance housing, with utilities, internet, linens and kitchen already in place. The third is a film, television and still-photo location: a documented early-1900s cottage with measured floor plans, load-in and parking notes, sound and light notes, and the local permit and Kentucky incentive paperwork explained on a page a location manager can read before calling.

The house is owned and hosted by Ross Boggess and managed day to day by Carto Homes. There is no property-management call center in the middle: inquiries come straight to the owner, and the answer is usually a rate, a calendar hold and a walk-through. Every measurement on the site comes from the 2024 ANSI-standard appraisal sketch, and anything that genuinely changes with the season, such as light or ceiling conditions, is marked for a scout instead of being guessed at.
