About this home

Newly Renovated in 2017, and located on over an acre of impeccable land in Lexington’s quintessential town center, this private home fuses a soft, calm palette with classic Italianate architecture and modern furnishings. Creating the ideal balance between upscale and tranquil living, delicate hues of white, powder blue, and light grey are integrated throughout the home, while period details and sleek finishes punctuate each space. The architectural focal points of this elegant home are its striking staircase, which cascades down to its garden level, and the lush landscape design. The floor plan allows flexibility for today's lifestyle and the renovated barn provides four heated parking places with an unfinished loft above providing potential additional space for an apartment, gym, studio and endless other possibilities.
