On a private circle of homes, this stately brick Colonial is prominently sited on a near half-acre lot in the coveted Merriam Hill neighborhood. Open your front door and be at the Minuteman Bikeway and Lexington Battle Green in one or two minutes. Timeless details of the era combine with significant updates on all four levels. Improvements include central A/C, a renovated kitchen with white inset cabinetry, granite counters, Wolf cooktop and wall ovens, SubZero refrigerator and wine chiller, and a butler’s pantry. There are 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths on the upper levels plus a finished multi-room lower level with separate entrance, full bath and kitchenette - ideal for extended family and guests. A detached two-car garage, professionally landscaped lot with fine perennial borders, and a stone patio complete this idyllic picture. Living in Lexington Center will be a dream with unmatched proximity to shops, restaurants, Cary Library, Fiske Elementary School, LHS and the Hayden Recreation.
