"an interplay of different-sized spaces to give them excitement."
   
                                                                                 - Graham Gund
Be inspired by your surroundings within this ‘Best of the Best’ renovation performed by famed series “This Old House” and designed by critically acclaimed Cambridge based architect, Graham Gund.  This one-of-a-kind former ranch style home is now a two-story with soaring timber-framed ceilings and is nestled on a sharply maintained, tree surrounded lot in Lexington’s The Manor.  A dramatic, artistic synergy of old and new exists with some of the charm of the original mid-century details in the main level bath and fireplace.  The newer and unique open floorplan offers two/three bedrooms on the main floor and a lavish master suite and library on the second floor.  This home will accommodate multi-generational living and most anyone’s lifestyle. 
​
In devising the space, Gund described his inspiration of the rooms to be "an interplay of different-sized spaces to give them excitement." The great room with soaring timber-framed ceilings highlights the two stories above. The all-white kitchen opens to the same dramatic ceiling, overlooked by a second-floor walkway linking the master suite to the quintessential, warmly hued tones of the fireplace dominant library.  The great room & dining room oversized windows and doors bring the outside in, with a view of the granite patio and lush grounds.
