Lexington Home of the Week: 40 Coolidge Ave.

This 14 year-young colonial was designed with incredibly generous dimensions which is accentuated by its creative open floor plan. That opportune blueprint is promptly launched with the simple and gracious front entry that instantly spills into the formal dining and living rooms, providing seamless traffic flow for entertaining and larger gatherings.

The spaces are liberally sized at 17 x 13 and 16 x 15, respectively, and include numerous windows drenching the rooms with natural sunlight. That foyer also opens into a warm and inviting 20 x 19 square foot family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, oversized windows, recessed lighting and an egress that leads to an expansive deck that overlooks the private, finely manicured landscape. That family room can actually be referred to as a great room with the exposed, neighboring 21 x 14 square foot kitchen and casual dining area just steps away. This gorgeous gourmet culinary center has been renovated boasting commercial-grade appliances, luxurious cherry cabinetry, a large pantry and an oversized granite island with a bar sink. This level also includes a bedroom and a full and a half bath for the convenient option of single-floor living.

The 17 x 16 square foot master suite and three additional bedrooms at 16 x 15, 16 x 13 and 13 x 13 square feet and a laundry area are located on the second level and a suite with a full bath is available on the third story. The finished basement offers 919 square feet of recreational space with a 22 x 19 square foot media room, a 16 x 11 square foot exercise room and a full bath.

This magnificent property has been resourcefully designed to comfortably accommodate larger families and residents who enjoy entertaining and leisure activities, both individually and as a group. The architect and builders obviously spent many hours collaborating on their fabrication to balance a residents' evolving and varying lifestyles and now another fortunate family can experience their imaginative visions.
