Perfectly positioned on a peaceful residential street, 2 Laurel Street offers the rare combination of privacy, recreation, and effortless connectivity. Spend weekends exploring the Minuteman Bikeway, local conservation trails, and Lexington's vibrant town center, then enjoy a straightforward commute to Boston, Cambridge, and the Route 128 technology corridor. It's a location designed for those who value both tranquility and convenience.This well-maintained and updated Colonial hits a sweet spot for Lexington buyers: the lot is large at almost .4 acres and the home is modern enough that you’re not inheriting major renovation projects, but not priced like new construction. You’re looking at over 2,500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, laid out in a very functional, traditional floor plan. The main level centers around an updated, open kitchen and family room with a cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace. There’s also a formal dining room and additional living space, so it works well whether you entertain or just want separation.Upstairs, the 3 bedroom + office layout is practical and the primary suite offers a renovated bathroom suite with a double vanity. The partially finished basement gives you flexibility—playroom, office, or gym—without being fully counted living space. Enjoy the 2 car garage with additional driveway parking, outdoor deck, and large yard.What to love about this location:- Quiet neighborhood setting- Minutes to Lexington Center- Close to the Minuteman Bikeway- Easy access to Route 128 & Cambridge- Highly regarded Lexington schoolsParks, trails, shopping, and dining nearbyAdditional information:- 1997 home age - windows and roof original- Kitchen renovated in 2023, primary bath 2018, recently repainted, New 2026 Samsung washer- 2 zone heating and cooling, one system is newer and the other is original.

North Lexington, located between Lexington Center and Bedford, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with wooded conservation land and a low-rise village strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue and Woburn Street junction, where independent cafés, small restaurants, and everyday shops line the sidewalks. Wilson Farm anchors local routines with its market, bakery cases, and seasonal greenhouse bustle. The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library adds a distinctive cultural stop with rotating exhibitions. Housing reads as classic New England—Colonials, Capes, and mid-century splits—set along curving streets that meet trailheads and playing fields. Minuteman Bikeway access shapes daily movement, linking rides and walks toward town centers and beyond.
