Listing broker remarks

An antique lover’s dream! The Joseph Smith House is one of 24 of Lexington's "Witness Houses". Originally built in 1765 and relocated to this convenient setting near Lexington Center in 1988, this charming Colonial beautifully blends historic character with thoughtful updates. While preserving its original detail and charm, the home was updated with a new foundation, kitchen, baths, plumbing, electrical, and heating systems. Features include- exposed beams, built in cabinets, a handsome cast iron stove in the dining room, and gorgeous terraced gardens that enhance the home’s timeless appeal. Be sure to view the oversized "barn" with 2 car garage and loft with great potential.— Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate
