About This Home
Just steps from Lexington Center, this beautifully updated Colonial blends timeless charm with modern comfort. The sun-filled living room features custom built-ins and a gas fireplace, while French doors open to a spacious study with private access to a fenced yard, Beacon Hill–style brick patio, and deck—your own garden retreat. The eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly to a vaulted, fireplaced family room and formal dining room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a reading nook, walk-in closet, and marble bath, joined by three additional bedrooms. The lower level includes a fifth bedroom, full bath, and exercise room, plus direct entry to a two-car garage with EV charger. Fresh paint, gleaming hardwoods, and a sought-after Merriam Hill location make this home the best of Lexington living.
