A rare find with character, privacy, and many updates, this architect-designed home sits on a private 1-acre lot in Lexington’s Upper Turning Mill neighborhood, close to Estabrook School and bordered by 700 acres of protected land. Designed in 1971 by an MIT architect using redwood, the home features a street-level bridge entry that opens into a dramatic four-story interior filled with natural light and serene woodland views. Recent upgrades include a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, new hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, a new roof, and new furnace. A striking central atrium connects open living areas with a cozy family room, a lower-level bedroom, and top-level master bedroom, creating a perfect balance of light, space, and privacy. The flexible layout supports remote work, multi-generational living, and changing needs. Enjoy treetop balcony views, spot deer nearby, and explore miles of scenic trails. A one-of-a-kind home where thoughtful design meets natural beauty.
