About this home
Storybook Cape on a side street close to the Old Res beach, conservation gardens and trails, with quick access to commuter routes. Three bedrooms, including the front-to-back primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, and two full baths. You’ll love classic details like a living room centered on a fireplace, an eat-in kitchen with updated appliances, and hardwood floors. Fresh new carpeting upstairs, some newly replaced windows, partial new roof with solar panels, and freshly painted inside and out. A bonus rec room with a second fireplace in the basement (not included in our living area measurement) offers space to play, create, work out, or lounge and watch TV. Big level backyard, perfect for a swing set and kicking a ball around. Lots of parking in the long driveway, with room for a basketball hoop. Get into Lexington’s top-rated school system!
Idylwide, located between Lexington Center and the Arlington line, is a residential and wooded Lexington neighborhood with curving lanes and mid-century ranches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue and Woburn Street junction, where commuter traffic, small storefronts, and sidewalk rhythms set the pace. Wilson Farm anchors local routines with its market barn, greenhouse rows, and seasonal stands. Nearby, the Lexington Community Center and Cary Memorial Library add a civic, cultural counterpoint to the quiet streets. Pocket conservation land and the Minuteman Bikeway shape daily routes on foot and bike. The landscape reads as low-slung homes, mature trees, and a calm, tucked-away feel close to town life.
