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.
