Rental listing information

Description

The home is located on Follen Hill's Mount Independence, one of the highest points in Lexington, an Italianate villa modeled by famed artist Hermann Dudley Murphy. The 1.75 acre gardens are exceptional, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. This home is truly a work of art. The eat-in kitchen dining room leads to an extensive living area with stenciled cypress paneling, a drawing room, media room and sun room. There are six bedrooms over two floors and seven bathrooms. The lower level is finished and a second kitchen and living space make it ideal for use as an au-pair suite. The piece de resistance is the indoor swimming pool with lounging area overlooking The Great Lawn and steps leading to the foundation stones of a historic observation tower. The in-door pool has an endless current technology (Badu) which allows swimming against a current. The home and grounds are perfect for family gatherings, grand entertainment and garden parties!

About Follen

Heights

Follen Heights, located between Massachusetts Avenue and the Minuteman Bikeway, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a leafy, low-rise feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Ave corridor near Waltham Street, where small storefronts, cafés, and everyday services set a steady, walk-and-stop rhythm. Nearby pillars include Cary Memorial Library, Lexington Venue, and the Lexington Farmers Market on the Town Green. Side streets read as tidy postwar blocks with occasional Colonials, while the bikeway adds a linear, car-free route for daily routines. Pocket parks and school grounds shape the open-space pattern, and the town center’s civic buildings give the area a polished New England backdrop.
