Welcome home to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod nestled in one of Lexington's very desirable and convenient locations! Situated on a rare lot of nearly 3/4 of an acre—significantly larger than most homes in the neighborhood—this property offers the perfect blend of character, modern updates, and outdoor living. Step inside and immediately appreciate the warmth of the real hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and spacious room sizes throughout. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, updated cabinetry, and newer appliances, creating a stylish and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. Recent improvements provide peace of mind for years to come, including a new roof and professionally sealed attic (2021), professionally anchored and reinforced foundation wall with a transferrable warranty, French drain and sump pump installation, updated bathrooms, refinished hardwood flooring on both levels, updated lighting, and the removal of the chimney with the addition of gas logs for enhanced safety and comfort. The flexible floor plan offers four generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, abundant storage throughout, and the convenience of laundry accommodations on either the lower level or upstairs. A partial unfinished basement provides even more storage space, or even more potential for an additional finished space if needed. Outside, you'll find a fully fenced backyard retreat with a secluded feel, mature landscaping, a spacious deck, and a patio area perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. Location truly sets this home apart. Enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment with Target, The Summit at Fritz Farm, and Fayette Mall just minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts and pet owners will love being near Shillito Park and Kirklevington Park, while nearby schools add to the home's everyday convenience. Finding a well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with this level of updates, storage, lot size, and location is increasingly rare in this area. Selling as-is with time of sale contingent on Seller finding next permanent place of residence which is actively being searched for. Don't miss your opportunity to make this exceptional Lexington property your next home!
