Located in the heart of Lexington’s Turning Mill community, an area renowned for its Techbuilt and Peacock Farm architectural style homes, this Mid-century modern masterpiece was designed by the celebrated architect Carl Koch and constructed in 1956 by “Techbuild Inc”. Renovated with respect to its original architecture, the first-floor design adheres to the open concept whilst providing separation between the living room, central kitchen and dining area, and the family room. The 2nd floor comprises 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite, and there are 3 full bathrooms. Highlights of the recent renovation include a new roof, new windows, 2 bathrooms, and 7 zones of air conditioning. Set on 0.69 acres, the property is perfectly situated near to the heated Paint Rock community swimming pool, the highly regarded Estabrook Elementary School, and the Paint Mine conservation area with its extensive trail network. Ideal commuter location with easy highway access 14 miles from downtown Boston.
