Listing broker remarks

A quick three blocks from the Minuteman Bikeway, bordering Lexington's most treasured green space, this custom-built Cape offers the best value in Lexington! This gem presents a rare opportunity to enjoy space, flexibility & value in one of Massachusetts' most sought-after communities, celebrated for its exceptional school system and lively, quaint New England town center. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this home blends vintage charm with quality upgrades which equals endless potential. Highlights include a retro eat-in kitchen with nicely preserved custom-built cabinetry & a versatile, grade-level walkout lower level that's perfect for today's rec room or tomorrow's guest suite, in-law apartment, or future au pair suite. Upstairs, mid-century-inspired design adds personality with step-up/down living spaces, a cozy fireplaced family room, an essential little half bath, generous eave and closet storage, & three spacious bedrooms. Hit the easy button...the big-ticket items are already complete, including insulated windows, vinyl siding, a gas heating system, newer chimney liner, and a newer gas water heater. If lifestyle is just as important as location, you'll love starting your mornings on the peaceful back deck, surrounded by greenery and pretty stone walls, listening to the birds chirp before taking a short stroll to the bike-path to explore Great Meadows Nature Preserve or continue on to Lexington Center for the local farmers market, cafés, restaurants, and charming boutique shops.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
