Lexington Home of the Week: 18 Fifer Lane, Unit 18

Looking to purchase in Lexington but the prices don't exactly coincide with the budget? Look no further. This lovely condominium is one of the most reasonably priced residences in town and with its purchase comes many benefits. First, its communal living status eliminates many burdensome maintenance costs, leaving more in the wallet and second, the Drummer Boy Homes complex offers it residents many complimentary recreational activities that include an in-ground swimming pool, tennis courts and walking/jogging trails. Again, more money in the bank when a staycation is so readily available!

If that introductory foundation peaks your interest, read on.

This lovely and desirable end unit was enhanced with a decorator's flair and includes spacious rooms throughout more than 1,300 square feet of living space. Many of the rooms have also received flooring updates this year adding more incentive and value to exploring this opportunity further. Those renovations include wood in the foyer, kitchen and dining room, carpeting in both bedrooms and tiling in the baths.

This charming single-level, sun-splashed unit offers five spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, beginning with the 14 x 22 square foot fireplaced living room with a vaulted ceiling and two sliders that lead to a rear, wooded landscape. It also provides a 10 x 14 square foot dining area with another slider, a built-in window seat and plantation blinds, an 8 x 8 square foot full equipped kitchen, a 14 x 17 square foot master bedroom with custom cabinetry, a second 11 x 14 square foot bedroom, two full baths and a laundry area.

One reasonable monthly service fee pays for general maintenance, master insurance and all recreational facilities for the 150 units within Drummer Boy Homes. The up-front costs are sensible, as well as the price tag for this desirable unit. The opportunity to own a Lexington property at this price, especially with all its amenities, does not appear that often and readers are encouraged to view its Sunday Open House for the full, satisfying picture.
