Lexington Home of the Week: 207 Wood St.

This Cape/Dutch Gambrel brings the benefits of both designs into one beautiful home.

This lovely home on Wood St. is like purchasing two homes for the price of one. It offers all the charm of a New England Cape and the space and interesting architecture of a Dutch Gambrel. Its interior boasts almost 1,800 square feet of living space circulated through three levels of finished living space and nine rooms to offer an assortment of room functions for an evolving family.

The spacious 23 x 13 square foot living room warmly welcomes guests and residents from the front entry with a brick fireplace and a bay window drenching the neutral palette with natural sunlight. The 14 x 12 square foot formal dining area exhibits its distinctive design with designer windows and a built-in corner china cabinet. The 16 x 12 square foot inviting eat-in kitchen will continually lure residents with its country setting while the adjacent 14 x 14 square foot family room and 25 x 8 square foot sunroom provides the ideal spaces to relax and unwind after dinner and enjoy the private lush scenery.

Four spacious bedrooms are located on the second floor with a 17 x 12 master and three guest bedrooms at 15 x 12, 11 x 11 and 12 x 10 square feet and contain various characteristic blueprints and constructive framework with dormers. This floor also impressively offers two full baths. The basement level further expands leisure and recreational opportunities with a 15 x 15 square foot playroom and 15 x 9 square foot workshop.

The grounds on this one third acre of land are filled with mature trees and bushes providing privacy and shelter from the warm days of summer. These views can be enjoyed from most rooms in the house but the preferable two choices will likely be the raised rear deck and that beautiful sunroom.

This property has only been for sale a few days so there is only a short window of opportunity to view this local gem as word travels fast when a gem like this enters the real estate market.
