With the price recently reduced by $100,000 to $1,999,000, activity is picking up for a farmhouse-inspired colonial in Lexington's sought-after Fiske Elementary School district.
The new 5,750-square-foot, 13-room home boasts five to six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a kitchen equipped with professional-grade Thermador appliances, a "smart home" technology system, two gas fireplaces and a mahogany wraparound porch and deck. It sits on a three-quarter-acre lot with new and mature plantings on a quiet, dead-end road that leads to Lexington conservation land.
"It's an area where you can build a larger home because of the lot size," said Realtor Kristin Brown, of Coldwell Banker in Lexington. "There's a high rate of turnover in terms of new construction in this neighborhood."
The sun-filled home features red oak floors throughout. The herringbone-patterned foyer leads to a formal living room with chair rails, applied molding and a coffered ceiling, and a dining room with the same molding and a tray ceiling. Walnut floor inlays decorate both rooms.
The 22-by-17-foot kitchen's Thermador appliances include a 48-inch gas range with a pot-filler water spigot and a glass mosaic backsplash above it. The counters and large island are topped with quartzite.
The kitchen opens into a mudroom with a pantry and half-bath on one side, and a breakfast area and family room with a gas fireplace and wet bar on the other.
The first floor also includes a room with a separate entrance and a small full bath — perfect for an office, or for a bedroom for a multigenerational family who has a loved one who can't climb stairs.
"We tried to make it appealing to everyone," Brown said.
A "good morning" staircase from the kitchen meets the front-entrance stairs on a landing to the second floor, which includes a sitting area with shelving.
The massive master suite is the home's largest room at 1,000 square feet. With French doors and walnut floor inlays, it sports a gas fireplace and dual walk-in closets. A linen closet is located next to the Carrara marble and beadboard bathroom with his-and-her vanities, a freestanding soaker tub and separate shower with a rain shower head and body jets.
The second floor also includes two bedrooms with an adjoining bath with two sinks, and a fourth bedroom with another bath.
Another bedroom and bath occupy the third floor of the home, along with a playroom with two skylights and a room that could function as a media room.
The "smart home" technology allows the heating, central air conditioning, speaker system, lighting and alarm to be controlled from a smartphone.
"If you're traveling and it's 95 degrees out, you can turn on the air conditioning from your phone," Brown said.
The home also is equipped with a three-car garage, backyard paver patio and vacuum and lawn irrigation systems. The basement is unfinished.
