About this home
Your way into Lexington: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath 1930 bungalow on a private, wooded half-acre (0.51acre), delivered vacant at closing. Homes in Lexington rarely sell under $1 million, and this one offers classic character with the key rooms already updated. Inside, hardwood floors run through the living and dining areas. The kitchen has white cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances, and the bath has a fully tiled walk-in shower. A bright sunroom wrapped in windows makes a perfect reading nook, home office or play space. A full basement adds storage and room to grow. Outside, mature trees and a wooded hillside create privacy, with the bike path just above and tennis and pickleball courts nearby. Two off-street parking spaces. Close to Lexington Center, shops, restaurants and commuter routes. Seller is offering a credit of up to $5K toward the buyer's closing costs or a mortgage rate buy down, which can lower your monthly payment. Ask your lender how it applies to you.

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.

48 Valley Rd is a hip little house that brings a bit of a Cambridge vibe to Lexington! Appealing to those starting out, downsizing, or just anyone who appreciates the idea that good things come in small packages. With everything stylishly updated, you can move right in & enjoy efficient living. The white kitchen has stainless appliances and granite counters. The flexible dining and living room area lends itself to both cozy nights watching a movie and enjoying a quiet meal, or hosting friends and family for game night. We love the beautiful bathroom, with gorgeous unique stone tile and an oversized custom shower. The 7x16 mudroom is extremely useful and functional, especially in winter months! Other important updates include newer roof, exterior paint, electrical panel, and Weil-McLain heating system. Quiet yet convenient location, adjacent to the Minuteman Bike Way and easy access to downtown Lexington, plus routes 95/128 and 2. Yes, you CAN live in Lexington with top ranked schools!
