Lexington Home of the Week: 67 N. Hancock St.

Walls of windows and cathedral ceilings bring nature in to this transformed Cape home.

Unique simply does not come close to describing this strikingly redesigned expanded Cape on N. Hancock St. Actually, Cape is somewhat a little deceiving as its label. This architecturally distinctive nine-room home has been recreated to maximize flow and use of natural light with an open floor plan, cathedral ceilings, walls (and sometimes ceilings) of glass with spectacular views and the exceptional utilization of open lofts.

This home immediately shows off its individuality with its exterior design and the remarkable amount and figures of its multiple windows Inside, the blueprint completely caters to nature's bounty with light shining throughout and its flowing room configuration. The first floor rooms includes a fireplaced living room with a walk-in bay, dining room with French doors, an updated kitchen with granite surfaces, French doors and island and a solarium breakfast room with a cathedral ceiling and balcony, a warm, inviting family room and two half baths, one completely renovated this year.

The second level boasts a master bedroom with another cathedral ceiling, built-ins, two oversized closets and a private, full bath, two additional bedrooms and another full bath. There is also a convenient home office on this floor with its own private entrance. Even the two-car garage backs its distinctive constructive credentials with a large studio loft.

Other unique features that echo this home's extraordinary architecture is a charming cupola and a stone patio that overlooks the private landscaped almost one third of an acre lot. While privacy within the property is plentiful, there is virtually no space within this home that shields its residents from its scenic settings. Don't be misled from its Cape label, this home is far from a traditional New England Cape home, in fact, it is a long way from any home on the Lexington real estate market today. Any potential homebuyer looking for that exclusively designed home has just found it.
