What's special

Landmark Lexington property with an exceptional location on the Lexington Green, offering a rare opportunity for a complete restoration. This storybook New England home is being offered for the first time in generations and features a large front porch overlooking the town center. Enter through the original glass vestibule to spaces filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. Period architectural details include two fireplaces, formal and casual living areas, an eat-in kitchen, and a lower-level game room. The private rear yard, set behind a two-story barn, offers views of the Old Belfry and a rare, quiet outdoor retreat in Lexington Center. The barn presents excellent potential for a guest house, studio, office, or wellness space. Both the home and barn require complete restoration. The property is adjacent to 1900 Massachusetts Avenue, also for sale with the same listing agent.
