Home of the Week: 261 Marrett Road

This gorgeous 1920's colonial is a great opportunity to purchase and experience a slice of the country's rich past in historical Lexington. This property is offered to prospective homebuyers in exceptional move-in condition and comes with very comfortable living and leisure accommodations with 2,000 square feet of living space and a spectacular third of an acre fenced-in lush landscape. It has also received many energy-efficient upgrades, aesthetics updates and substantial remodeling yet still presents many period features as well as gleaming hardwood floors and elevated ceilings.

In total, there are eight spacious and versatile rooms distributed throughout three finished levels. The first floor contains a 21 x 12 square foot living room, an intimate 9 x 13 square foot formal dining area, an 18 x 24 square foot family room and a fabulously renovated 11 x 13 square foot eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. This floor also provides a large 24 x 11 square foot guest bedroom with a half bath that could also double or be solely utilized as a den or children's playroom.

The second level hosts a 12 x 12 square foot master suite with a full, private bath, two additional bedrooms at 15 x 8 and 12 x 11 square feet and a full family bath. The third story stretches and uses the home's generous footprint with a fabulous 12 x 11 square foot loft.

To highlight just a few of its valuable updates, this property has recently received all brand new windows and doors, fresh paint and carpeting and a modernized kitchen. It also contains many outdoor amenities, such as an oversized porch that overlooks a charming and welcoming backyard with flowering trees and mature greenery.

As spring approaches, the local real estate market has experienced a surge in available properties, however, many are scooped up quickly. This exceptional Lexington home was only placed on the market four short days ago, but judging from the current residential traffic, it will not be available for long, especially once homebuyers learn of its highly beneficial and constructive renewals.
