Luxury, comfort, and exceptional craftsmanship come together in this beautifully designed 6,922± sq. ft. Colonial, offering premium finishes, generous living spaces, and outstanding amenities in one of Lexington's most sought-after neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the open floor plan blends elegance with functionality. The chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a large center island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double dishwashers, and a breakfast nook with custom window seating. The main level also includes a spacious fireplaced living room, a private office with fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom suite with a full bath and walk-in closet, providing ideal flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet with a makeup station, and a spa-inspired bath, while the finished third floor and expansive lower level add exceptional space for recreation, fitness, wellness, and entertaining. Every level has been thoughtfully planned to maximize comfort and functionality, showcasing quality materials, timeless finishes, and luxury features rarely found in today's homes.
Idylwide, located between Lexington Center and the Arlington line, is a residential and wooded Lexington neighborhood with curving lanes and mid-century ranches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue and Woburn Street junction, where commuter traffic, small storefronts, and sidewalk rhythms set the pace. Wilson Farm anchors local routines with its market barn, greenhouse rows, and seasonal stands. Nearby, the Lexington Community Center and Cary Memorial Library add a civic, cultural counterpoint to the quiet streets. Pocket conservation land and the Minuteman Bikeway shape daily routes on foot and bike. The landscape reads as low-slung homes, mature trees, and a calm, tucked-away feel close to town life.
