About this home
This idyllic property is truly something special. Unassuming, elegant, and perfectly proportioned, 131 Lincoln Road is one of very few right-sized, moderately-priced single-family homes in the highly desirable Town of Lincoln. The property blends privacy, nature, and convenience, with almost three acres of mature trees and well-established perennial gardens abutting conservation land, directly adjacent to Lincoln's extensive network of walking trails. This home offers flexible living space with a pleasant interplay of open flow and quiet corners. The bright, sunny dining room leads to both the living room and the lovely updated kitchen, which features a fresh blue-and-white palette, stainless steel appliances, an induction cooktop, quartz countertops, marble backsplash, a breakfast bar, and direct access to a fenced yard. On the other side of the center stairwell, the family room has windows on three sides, a French door to the exterior, and a wood stove for crisp fall evenings. A well-situated half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, three bedrooms (including a primary with en-suite bath) and a bonus room offer options for family, guests, or home office; there is also a second bathroom on this level. The semi-finished basement houses laundry and storage, with potential for future expansion. Thoughtfully maintained and improved by the current owners, the home features numerous recent updates: an all-electric setup with efficient mini-splits for heating and cooling, a new electric panel, solar and electric water heater, added insulation in the basement and attic, fresh exterior paint, a new wood stove, and upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, among other improvements. This charming home is located just .25 mile from the commuter rail, Donelan's Supermarket, eateries, and local conveniences; .5 mile from Codman Farm; and 1 mile from Lincoln's well-respected, superbly renovated K-8 public school and recreational campus. It is also within easy reach of Cambridge and Boston via Route 2 or I-95 to I-90.
This property is on the market for the first time in 36 years due to its unmatched location. Its a privately situated 3 acre homestead but only a 3-4 min. car free to the commuter train, cafe, market, banks and post office. In 12 minutes on woodland trails you can get to the Lincoln Public Schools, or take bus. Churches, 4 organic farms (including Drumlin and Codman) and the farmer's market are all car free in 1 to 20 min. You can cross country ski or hike to Walden Pond from here and cross pavement once. The sunny, south oriented house has a delightful spacious and open feel with lots of architectural charm, high ceilings and a space for everything and everyone. The gardens have been nurtured for over 3 decades and it truly shows. In addition to an impressive perennial garden, there is a well established vegetable garden and open lawn for playing on and its been organically kept all these years. This hidden gem is an opportunity unlikely to become available again anytime soon.
