Located in the heart of Lexington, this house is bound to be the most exciting listing of the season for many of the most discerning buyers. A stone’s throw from Lexington High School, Bridge Elementary, Hastings Park, two doors down from the Hayden Center, picture a lifestyle that is not so dependent on driving everywhere. Supermarkets, cafés, pharmacies, Neilio’s Gourmet take-out, the new Inn at Hastings Park, Lincoln Playing Fields, and the town center are all close by.
And that’s before we even tell you about the spectacular house itself. The unfussy facade of the house does little to prepare you for the pleasing surprises that await you as you enter. The house was fully renovated, and expanded to take advantage of the backyard view, which borders conservation land and walking trails. The modern kitchen opens up to the dining and family rooms, with soaring cathedral ceilings and skylights. Recently refinished hardwood floors gleam warmly. The wood floors continue a few steps down to the walk-out first level of the house, where there is a media room with huge picture windows and glass doors out to the backyard. An entry to the heated two-car garage is on one end, a full bath with a shower is on another. Just past the laundry room is the entry to the basement, with utilities and storage. Back upstairs, the living room has a fireplace. Up on the second floor, there are four bedrooms, a shared full bath, as well as a huge master suite with a luxurious master bath.
The house has a few simple details that further distinguish it from average houses, such as the custom built-in benches in the living room and master bedroom. There is 2506 square feet of living area and a half-acre of land, all with a super and convenient location.
