About this home

Merriam Hill! Stylish Queen Anne Colonial with great light, livability, proportion and a serene aesthetic. The heart of this home is the eating area that flows into the family room which provides amazing vistas of Lexington Center and the surrounding hillsides. This space then opens to a gorgeous 2020 kitchen with the high-end appliances one would expect. From the moment you step on the front porch into the grand entry foyer, with detailed finishes and high ceilings, you will sense the rich warmth and comfort of a home that has been lovingly cared for and exudes an aura of peaceful relaxation. Built for Frederick L Emery (Emery Park honors him) with an asymmetrical design featuring a three sided turret, stained glass, butler's pantry and a beautiful terraced slope. Enjoy the perfect setting, convenient to Fiske, Diamond, LHS and all that Lexington has to offer, including shops, restaurants, conservation areas, the Minuteman Bikeway, Cary Library and Cary Hall
