1 Oakland Street

Modern style and classic charm define this immaculate, beautifully updated Village Colonial that has everything you have been dreaming of, including the white picket fence. Imagine living only steps away from the historic town center in one of Lexington’s most desirable neighborhoods, Merriam Hill. Enjoy being close to so many amenities, yet just far enough away to treasure the peace and comfort of home along a quiet, tree-lined street.

The front farmer’s porch makes a lovely first impression surrounded by perennial plantings, offering an inviting place to relax with a book or to watch the world pass by.

Step inside the front entry and you will feel right at home as a French door opens to the living room with hardwood floors, crown molding, and endless natural light, creating the perfect place for comfortable living and entertaining.

Share special meals in the formal dining room with wainscoting, crown molding, hardwood floors, and a large bay of windows to welcome the sunshine.

Double French doors lead to the stunning, open concept kitchen, the focal point of the first level and guaranteed to inspire your inner chef with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including the pro Viking double oven with a six-burner cooktop and grill, a center island, radiant heat floor, stylish white cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and a sweeping cathedral ceiling with skylights. 

The informal dining area is graced by a large bay window offering the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee. A built-in desk area provides a convenient workspace with overhead cabinetry for the ultimate storage and organization.

The sliding glass door not only welcomes the sunshine, but also provides a great connection to the deck and fully fenced backyard beyond for easy outdoor living. Dine al fresco beneath the pergola covered deck or spend summer days relaxing in the peaceful backyard. The yard is fully fenced offering a safe place for kids and pets to play and has a newly installed sprinkler system for carefree maintenance.

A staircase from the kitchen allows for easy access to the lower-level recreation room, perfect for movie nights or hanging out.

The main level continues with a sophisticated library, offering a peaceful spot to curl up with a book or for working comfortably from home. The library has a double window, wainscoting, and walls of built-in shelving illuminated by recessed lighting. What a wonderful space to display your favorite books and treasured collectibles. A fresh and inviting half bathroom with hardwood flooring completes the first level.

A staircase from the front foyer leads to three spacious family bedrooms, a full family bathroom, and the laundry room on the second level. The family bedrooms are full of natural light with hardwood floors and ample closet space; two of the bedrooms have large bay windows offering lovely views of the surrounding landscape. The family bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub with a shower, a stylish white vanity, and extra cabinetry for linen storage. Escape to your own private get-away with the third level master suite and adjoining office.

The large master bedroom is open and airy with a beamed cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, modern pendant lighting, triple windows, spacious double closets, and a full bathroom with a skylight and tiled shower. The adjoining office has a built-in desk, hardwood floors, and offers a private space to work from home or to use as desired.
