Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot this sun-filled classic center-entrance Colonial offers over 3,900 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space across three levels. From the moment you step into the two-story foyer with its curved staircase, this property strikes the balance of warmth and polish that makes a house feel like home. The heart of the home is a stunning open-concept kitchen, fully equipped with everything a chef dreams of including granite countertops, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and a sunny window seat overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard and patio. A large family room with a custom-built fireplace surround and crown molding, an elegant dining room with wainscoting and chair rail, and a main-level office or additional living room round out the first floor — plus a full bath nearby, offering easy first-floor living potential. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, with a spa-like bath featuring a double vanity, a jacuzzi soaking tub, and not one, not two, but three closets including the best walk in you've seen! Three additional generously sized bedrooms, another full bath, and a convenient second-floor laundry room complete this level. The finished lower level adds even more flexible living space, including a study, a spacious play/media room with custom built-ins, and a full bathroom — ideal for guests, a home gym, or a teen hangout space. Outside, enjoy a fenced and professionally leveled backyard with a paver patio, stone wall, sprinkler system, and mature landscaping for perfect privacy — all on a quiet cul-de-sac with sidewalks. A two-car attached garage with additional storage/workshop space and a spacious driveway offer plenty of parking. After many loving years, this gorgeous home is ready for its new owner! Conveniently situated just minutes from Lexington downtown and Alewife station making it the ideal commuter location for the best of both worlds!

Five Fields, located between Massachusetts Avenue and the Minuteman Bikeway, is a residential and greenbelt Lexington neighborhood with wooded lanes and a strong trail-to-park feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Minuteman Bikeway crossing near Adams Street, where cyclists, dog-walkers, and runners set the daily rhythm. Housing reads as mid-century and late-20th-century colonials and contemporaries, set back behind mature trees and stone-edged yards. Nearby, Lexington Center adds cultural gravity through Cary Memorial Library and the Lexington Venue. Wilson Farm anchors local food culture with a market-and-greenhouse ritual. Five Fields Park and the Bikeway stitch together outdoor time and commuter-friendly movement.
