Designed by renowned architect Hugh Stubbins, this 4-bed, 2.5 bath Midcentury-Modern is located a stone's throw from Diamond Middle School, the bike path, and a mile from Lex Center. Tucked away from the road, the open floor plan is centered around a fieldstone fireplace, which creates a foyer leading to the attached 2-car garage and the front entry. A living room and dining room share the open plan and are filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. Soaring ceilings lend the heart of the home dramatic volume. The living area opens to a patio, overlooking a lush backyard with stone walls. An eat-in kitchen is tucked away on the other side of the dining room, divided by a pass-through butcher block counter. A split-level design leads to two generous bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bath. The first level is almost a mirror image, with 2 more bedrooms and a full bath. Finished walkout lower level with a fireplace. High-end Viessmann heating and hot water. Central air.
