The handsome living room opens seamlessly to a library framed by built-in bookcases and spectacular views. An updated kitchen, open to the family room, offers ample granite counters, stainless steel appliances and an adjoining butler’s pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an updated bath with steam shower and a generous custom walk-in closet. Meticulously maintained and beautifully presented, this distinctive property offers the rare combination of privacy, character and convenience. Ideally located near Lincoln’s library and schools, conservation land and trails, and major commuting routes.
