About this home
Step inside this recently constructed Victorian style home to discover an exquisite and majestic estate that has been meticulously built to seamlessly blend modern convenience with timeless elegance, perfectly tailored to fit the needs of today’s lifestyle. Nestled within highly desirable Merriam Hill and offering a prime location only steps to the town center and on one of the most historic sites in Lexington, 16 Meriam Street is sited on the very spot where Samuel Adams exclaimed to John Hancock upon hearing the first shots of the revolution, “Oh what a glorious morning for America!” The exterior and surrounding gardens are captivating with professionally landscaped grounds, stone walls, and specialty plantings. Whether hosting a grand soiree or an intimate family gathering, this home elevates your entertaining endeavors to new heights. The heart of the home opens with the stunning chef’s kitchen with professional grade, high end appliances including the 48” True double door refrigerator/freezer and Wolf 60” gas range. The chef is sure to appreciate the granite countertops with quartz accents, a rounded center island, a breakfast bar topped with custom artistic glass by Thinkglass, a custom designed backsplash, and a spacious informal dining area overlooking the backyard entertainment haven, easily accessible from both the kitchen and gazebo. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring a gas fireplace with a quartz surround and double French doors to a private balcony with Ipe flooring overlooking the backyard. A huge walk-in closet offers a window seat, a curved hanging area, and custom built-ins to provide the ultimate organization. The spa-like primary bathroom features an additional gas fireplace, and a dual sink vanity with a glass countertop and glass vessel sinks. Retreat to the secluded third level with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, perfect to use as a teen/au pair suite. Enjoy the home theater with 110” screen, high-definition Sony projector, and 7.1 surround sound system for an immersive cinematic experience. Slate tile flooring flows throughout the rest of the lower level, complete with a game room, home gym, and mudroom. Venture outdoors to find your very own private resort.
