You will love the feeling of being just far enough away, yet so close to everything you need – a little slice of Vermont right in Lexington! A paved walking path only steps from home leads directly to Waltham Street and Lexington’s vibrant town center less than a mile away. Walk to public transportation, three schools, and the Minuteman Bike Path. Mature trees surround the home with a wooded feel and lots of privacy. The sheltered front porch is another great space to enjoy the view and passing scene. A freshly painted interior, newly refinished floors, and many other improvements means this home is ready for you to move right in and enjoy!

This classic beauty will feel like home the moment you step inside. The front vestibule offers a gradual entry, featuring tile flooring and a large walk-in closet for organizing outdoor gear and much more. Greet your guests in the living room, far wider than most living rooms and an incredibly welcoming space perfect for hanging out with the family or entertaining. It is perfect for hosting large groups while enjoying the room’s unique setting. Cozy up around the wood burning fireplace on chilly nights. Large, architecturally distinctive windows offer tons of charm and natural light with delightful scenic vistas beyond. Beneath the windows, an oversized cushioned window seat provides a great space to stretch out with a good book, gaze out at the treetop views, or during winter take a nap while warmed by the sun.

The living room opens seamlessly to a versatile sunroom surrounded by walls of windows, a wonderful space for reading, relaxing, or to use as an office for working comfortably from home.

The formal dining room is perfect for hosting fun dinner parties or sharing special meals with a built-in china cabinet and hardwood floors. A huge glass slider overlooks the deck and backyard beyond, showcasing lovely views throughout the changing seasons or offering occasional glimpses of woodland critters.

Create favorite recipes in the sunny and cheerful kitchen with a brand-new stainless-steel dishwasher, a newer refrigerator, updated faucet, pantry closet, white cabinetry and coordinating open shelving, hardwood floors, and an extra-large window to bring the natural setting indoors.

Everyone will love to gather in the spacious family room as double French doors open to this wonderful space that is perfect for movie night or fun celebrations. Skylights and a bank of corner windows add lots of natural light as another large slider offers access to the deck and backyard while welcoming the sunshine. A half bathroom adds the finishing touch to the main level.

A centrally located staircase leads to the second level as the newly refinished hardwood floors continue to the privately set primary bedroom, two more family bedrooms and an office, and the family bathroom. A vaulted ceiling adds a feeling of spaciousness in the primary bedroom featuring a large dressing area with double closets and a bathroom with a tiled tub and shower. Three more family bedrooms offer refinished hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The second level family bathroom has ceramic floor tiles and a tiled tub with a shower. An oversized walk-in closet on the second level landing offers potential as a future laundry room or additional storage.

The finished third level continues with an additional bedroom, offering the ultimate setting for the family member that loves their privacy or this room could also be used as an office – it’s up to you to decide! The unfinished, walkout basement has lots of storage space, currently houses the laundry area, and provides easy access to the backyard and additional outdoor covered storage areas. The ample driveway offers parking for 3-4 cars.

Perfectly located to enjoy all Lexington has to offer, this home has excellent outdoor recreation options when you step outside the front door. Meander down the footpath to Waltham Street, take a short walk to the Old Res beach area to go swimming or fishing, or connect with the wooded walking trails of nearby Lincoln Park. Bridge ES, Clarke MS, and Lexington HS are all easily walkable. Immerse yourself in nature, be a part of the award-winning Lexington School System, and enjoy a great commuter location only a short distance from major highway routes.
