About this home
Recently renovated Midcentury-Modern Peacock Farm-style home designed by pioneering modernist architect Walter Pierce in the coveted Turning Mill neighborhood, close to Estabrook School. Move right in and enjoy summer at the Paint Rock neighborhood swimming pool (optional)! The open floor plan is filled with natural light from walls of windows; the indoor-outdoor relationship that's a hallmark of the design; and soaring ceilings provide a pleasing sense of volume. Mini-split AC/heat pumps, Buderus boiler, HTP hot water tank, and stainless oil tank. The circa-2016 roof added two more inches of insulation. A Garapa Brazilian hardwood deck overlooks the fabulous backyard with a lawn and wooded privacy. The fresh interior finishes update the original midcentury-modern plan. The post-and-beam construction has few (if any) load-bearing walls, for maximum flexibility for future modifications. Here's your opportunity to get into a turnkey home, super close to Estabrook Elementary School, Burlington and Bedford shopping areas, and commuter routes.
North Lexington, located between Lexington Center and Bedford, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with wooded conservation land and a low-rise village strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue and Woburn Street junction, where independent cafés, small restaurants, and everyday shops line the sidewalks. Wilson Farm anchors local routines with its market, bakery cases, and seasonal greenhouse bustle. The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library adds a distinctive cultural stop with rotating exhibitions. Housing reads as classic New England—Colonials, Capes, and mid-century splits—set along curving streets that meet trailheads and playing fields. Minuteman Bikeway access shapes daily movement, linking rides and walks toward town centers and beyond.

Updated Midcentury-Modern Peacock Farm-style designed by pioneering modernist architect Walter Pierce in the coveted Turning Mill neighborhood, close to Estabrook School. Move right in and enjoy summer at the Paint Rock neighborhood swimming pool! The open floor plan is filled with natural light from walls of windows, the indoor-outdoor relationship that's a hallmark of the design, and soaring ceilings provide a pleasing sense of volume. The kitchen was updated about 12 years ago, including a gas (propane) range and quartz counters. Mini-split AC/heat pumps, newer Buderus boiler, HTP hot water tank, and stainless oil tank. The roof is about six years old and 2-inches of insulation was added. Fabulous backyard with a lawn and wooded privacy. 2022 interior paint and refinished hardwood floors. Lovingly maintained, even the driveway was repaved a few years back. Enjoy a cool drink on the patio of this stylish turnkey home!
