You really have to see this one! A large two-story addition, designed by architect Timothy Burke in 2007, creates magical space that is the heart of the home. Open the front door of this Farmhouse style property and let the 21-foot high foyer ceilings draw you in. A striking kitchen offers Viking double ovens, a professional Viking 6-burner gas range with pot-filler and vent hood, oversized honed granite island with clean-up sink, custom cherry cabinets, and much more. An open gallery above leads to an elegant Master Suite featuring a BainUltra air jet tub and towel warming racks. Display space, closets, and storage abound. The antique section of the home can be accessed on both levels, integrating the old with the new. Great options for guests, offices, and hobbies. The outdoor space is framed by decks, porches, stone walls and mature plantings. Fabulous Follen Hill location with easy access to Lexington Center, Rt. 2, Wilson Farm, Minuteman Bikeway, and Great Meadows Conservation.
