Lexington Home of the Week: 292 Marrett Rd.
This modernized colonial perfectly merges the past with the present.
This classic colonial epitomizes the perfect blend of vintage architecture with modern designs. It is currently in move-in condition, thanks to the outstanding care and attention it has received from its perceptive past and current owners who also understood the significance of Lexington's historical legacy. Many of the original materials and foundation staples have been well preserved with the maintenance of its sparkling hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and built-ins and the updates only compliment its decor, comfort and convenience factors with central air conditioning, stainless steel appliances, stone surfaces and an oversized deck.
The front entrance is a lovely introduction to the charm awaiting inside with its inviting porch providing views from three walls, just tempting residents to pause and enjoy the scenery. The eat-in kitchen offers durable natural fibers with wood cabinets and stone countertops and provides easy access to the rear deck overlooking a private, fenced-in yard. This floor also provides a formal fireplaced living room and quaint dining room with a charming corner hutch.
Both of the spacious bedrooms on the second level have been painted and decorated in soft, yet contemporary hues as well as the full tiled bath with shades of warm plum.
This home is located in a beautiful and advantageous neighborhood near schools, playing fields/courts, bike trails, restaurants, shopping and conservation land. The town of Lexington has such a rich national history and that heritage is also reflected in its real estate. This 83 year-old home exhibits the distinctive character of its era yet has been renovated to comply with the desires and needs of today's homebuyers. With such a diverse collection of realty in town, there truly is something for everyone.
