Set back from the road on a tree-lined lot for added privacy, this charming Gambrel Cape offers the perfect blend of modern style, comfort, and convenience. Just steps to the Clarke Middle School, tennis/pickleball courts, and conservation land, the location is ideal for families seeking both a peaceful neighborhood setting and easy access to top-rated schools. Natural light fills the home’s interior, highlighting the hardwood floors and inviting living spaces. A wood-burning fireplace with a classic white mantel anchors the living room, offering both a striking focal point and a cozy setting for everyday living or entertaining. The formal dining room accommodates everything from special occasions to casual meals. The updated kitchen is designed with both style and function in mind, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, an informal dining area, and an exterior door with direct access to the backyard. Step outside to a private retreat nestled by trees with a spacious patio, perfect for relaxing or hosting summer gatherings. A storage shed adds convenient space for gardening tools and outdoor equipment. The flexible floor plan is guaranteed to fit your family’s needs with a main level bedroom and a full bathroom. The bedroom is full of natural light and could also work well as a home office if needed, with easy access to the updated bathroom with a tiled tub and shower. Upstairs, the large, front-to-back primary bedroom is a sunny and cheerful sanctuary, featuring a versatile office or dressing area and a large double closet. Two more generously sized family bedrooms on the second level are full of natural light with hardwood floors and ample closets, all convenient to the updated bathroom with a tiled shower. The finished lower level offers even more flexible living space with a family room and bonus area featuring brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring, the laundry area with a sink, additional storage, and convenient garage access. So close to everything you need, but just far enough away to enjoy a rural feel, you will love living only a short drive from Lexington’s town center where you will enjoy the rich history, shopping, the library, and all the delicious dining options. Stone Meadow Golf is close by, a popular spot which offers a short course and driving range. Be a part of a highly renowned school system and take advantage of easy commuting with nearby bus routes and easy highway access.
Charming Cape-style home featuring spacious bedrooms, a finished basement, and a quaint brick patio in a lovely yard. Note: equipped with an older oil heating system and lacks air conditioning.
Follen Heights, located between Massachusetts Avenue and the Minuteman Bikeway, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a leafy, low-rise feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Ave corridor near Waltham Street, where small storefronts, cafés, and everyday services set a steady, walk-and-stop rhythm. Nearby pillars include Cary Memorial Library, Lexington Venue, and the Lexington Farmers Market on the Town Green. Side streets read as tidy postwar blocks with occasional Colonials, while the bikeway adds a linear, car-free route for daily routines. Pocket parks and school grounds shape the open-space pattern, and the town center’s civic buildings give the area a polished New England backdrop.
