What a value! Updated five-bedroom Peacock Farm-style Mid-Century Modern with an expanded chef's kitchen addition with quartz counters; a huge kitchen island with sink; gas (propane) stainless Jenn Air range and refrigerator; and out-venting range hood. All the great features of the original Walter Pierce-designed home: soaring ceilings; walls of windows; open-concept floor plan; and post-and-beam construction. Thoughtfully sited on a wooded lot on the corner of a cul de sac. Gleaming hardwood and cork floors. Two bedrooms and full bath on the walk-out first level. Three more bedrooms upstairs, including master with an en suite bath, as well as shared bath. Two other additions: a family room + heated sun room help set this house apart. Bonded membership in the refurbished and heated Paint Rock Pool and in the same neighborhood as the highly lauded Estabrook Elementary School. Come see why the architecturally consistent Turning Mill Neighborhood continues to be one of Lexington's gems.

Enter a wooded Wonderland, experience lush flora and fauna that will lead you in to a bright and airy contemporary home. Soaring ceilings, glistening wood floors and walls of glass abound! Freshly painted and beckoning for you to move in, you will be reminded of Thoreau's commentary on his backyard "It is a natural magic-these leaves are the stained glass windows in the cathedral of my world." Such a peaceful and idyllic setting is rare. Many recent improvements. A TRUE GEM!
