Nestled within highly desirable Merriam Hill and offering a prime location only steps to the town center and on one of the most historic sites in Lexington, 16 Meriam Street is sited on the very spot where Samuel Adams exclaimed to John Hancock upon hearing the first shots of the revolution, “Oh what a glorious morning for America!” The exterior and surrounding gardens are captivating with professionally landscaped grounds, stone walls, and specialty plantings.

The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring a gas fireplace with a quartz surround and double French doors to a private balcony with Ipe flooring overlooking the backyard. A huge walk-in closet offers a window seat, a curved hanging area, and custom built-ins to provide the ultimate organization. The spa-like primary bathroom features an additional gas fireplace, and a dual sink vanity with a glass countertop and glass vessel sinks. Retreat to the secluded third level with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, perfect to use as a teen/au pair suite.
