10 Rumford Rd, Lexington, MA 02420$1,410,000

The midcentury-modern home you’ve been waiting for. Set on a knoll and overlooking wooded land beyond, this Walter Pierce-designed Peacock Farm-style house features all the hallmarks of this pioneering plan: soaring ceilings; post-and-beam construction; big walls of windows for an indoor-outdoor feeling; a free-standing fireplace; and a split up-and-down floor plan. The huge living room windows and glass door overlook the patio, where you’ll enjoy cool drinks and a wooded view -- you'll feel like you’re on vacation. A finished walk-out first level PLUS an unfinished basement for utilities and storage. Newly finished hardwood floors and interior painting. Vintage Lightolier fixture in foyer. The roof is circa-2006. Unlike many homes of the style and era, there’s an additional detached A-frame 2-car garage with an additional carport bay, a loft, plumbing, multiple 220v outlets, and a 6-foot mechanic’s pit for those who enjoy working on cars. Lovingly maintained by original-owner family.
