Fresh, bright, and modern, this expanded and meticulously updated Peacock Farm home sits on a serene 1/3-acre lot surrounded by Zen-like moss gardens and a bluestone patio, offering a private, tranquil setting ideal for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. A thoughtfully designed 2018 addition transformed the primary suite into a luxurious retreat with a spa-like en suite bath featuring an oversized glass-enclosed shower, while also enhancing the walk-out lower level with a spacious family room, a glass-walled home gym, and a full bath with soaking tub and elegant Japanese-style wood screens. A third full bath with radiant heated floors was tastefully renovated in 2024. The 20122013 kitchen redesign opens seamlessly to the living area, creating a bright, cohesive, and modern flow. Four mini-split heat pumps provide efficient cooling and supplemental heat, and energy upgrades include blown-in insulation and added roof insulation. Truly move-in ready. With a neighborhood pool!

Great move in condition...lots of windows and light. Kitchen could use some updates but very functional. Bedrooms are a good size with updated baths. Lower level has additional rooms and full bath. No garage and parking is set away from the house....
Pretty yard.

Lexington continues to be a competitive Seller's market driven by its historic appeal & location. With buildable land exhausted, true inventory growth is very constrained; development mostly replaces existing homes. New zoning laws will eventually...
