On sought-after Follen Hill, this fine 1928 home is recognized as one of few examples of the Bungalow style of architecture in Lexington. Outside, note the deep eaves, bracketed side gables and a room-sized screened front porch with distinctive columned woodwork. A gracious living room invites you to sit by the fireplace and is complemented by a formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen was redone by the owner with particular quality and includes an oversized bay window that overlooks a charming backyard. The first floor also has a delightful retro full bath and a bedroom/den with a wall of custom bookcases, cabinet and double closets. Upstairs, find a generous primary bedroom with an adjoining 2-person office. There is a bath and a sunny second bedroom with two walk-in closets. The lower level has another custom room with recessed lighting, diagonal pine walls and a full bath with jetted tub. Enjoy living near Wilson Farm, public transportation, Route 2 and the Bikeway. Welcome home!
