Tucked away in Lexington's Merriam Hill District, this new home nods to traditional New England architecture customary of this area while providing a more contemporary feel internally. Its open floor plan and contemporary design aesthetic allow space to flow freely from room to room. The double height foyer space becomes the focal point of this home built around entertaining; visually connecting all of the gathering spaces on both floors. The first floor mater bedroom suite includes offices for both husband and wife; while the second floor provides guest bedrooms with private baths and cross site views. The home was sited and landscaped to create a backyard patio that acts as an extension of the dining room providing easy access during large gatherings. Additional features include radiant floor heating in select locations, custom cabinetry and in-wall picture rails for ease in hanging artwork.
