About this home

Financing fell through due to Hurricane Ian. Character and charm abound in this high-style Craftsman home in the coveted Merriam Hill neighborhood. Two blocks away from Fiske Elementary, 0.7 miles to Diamond and very close to Lexington Center and LHS. The lovely period woodwork complements the recent architect-designed kitchen with custom furniture-style island, hutch and a generous eating area, mudroom, and adjacent office. The dining room has an exquisite fireplace wall with a uniquely designed leaded china cabinet and tiled plant alcove. An impressive staircase sweeps past an enormous window to a room-sized landing leading to 4 second-level bedrooms including a primary bedroom with fireplace, sitting area, and two-room bath. The third level has 1200 square feet with 5 rooms, 2 full baths and exterior access. The finished lower level is great for games and media. Create your perfect staycation retreat in the lush and private level yard. Three-car garage with loft. Welcome home!
