Charming and full of potential, this classic 3-bedroom Cape is nestled on a peaceful dead end street in desirable Prospect Hill. Set on an oversized 15,500 sq ft lot, the home offers a perfect blend of comfort and opportunity. Inside, enjoy freshly painted interiors, newly refinished hardwood floors and Anderson windows throughout. The fireplaced living room flows into a formal dining room with 2 built in corner hutches, while the kitchen includes a cozy breakfast nook and picture window with a window seat. A bonus room on the main floor—with French doors to a large, private yard—makes an ideal office or playroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features two large closets and a cedar-lined walk-in, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath. With an attached 1-car garage, a partially finished basement, and plenty of room to grow, this home is ideal for first-time buyers, renovators, or anyone looking to enjoy all that Lexington has to offer.
