Tradition Meets Thoughtful Design

A Love Letter to 65 Blake Road
At the corner of Blake Road and the quiet Boulder Road cul-de-sac, tucked in the heart of Lexington Manor, sits a home that doesn’t just provide shelter,  it tells a story.

This is 65 Blake Road, a Colonial Revival built in 1942, and lovingly expanded since. It's a home that holds onto its heritage while embracing the rhythm of modern life. The kind of place where you feel something as you cross the threshold — a quiet pride, a sense of continuity, the unmistakable warmth of careful craftsmanship.
Outside, a bluestone path winds through perennial beds that bloom in gentle waves. Over the garage, a hand-cut shingle of Captain Parker, Lexington’s Revolutionary hero, keeps quiet watch. And hidden in the stair newel post? A 1942 Liberty Half Dollar,  a silver coin marking the home’s beginnings and its enduring spirit.

Inside, the original charm lives on. Sunlight moves across hardwood floors, warming each room. The dining room’s built-in hutch glows with age and memory. The living room offers space to gather, with a wood-burning fireplace at its heart. A sunroom invites quiet reading or morning coffee. A cheerful powder room welcomes guests.

And then, a transformation. A thoughtful addition at the rear of the home expands the living space into something truly special. The kitchen is generous, filled with cherry built-ins, radiant floors, a Wolf 6-burner range, a wine cooler, and room for everyone to linger. It’s the kind of space where dinners stretch long and laughter fills the air.
Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite offers calm, with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath. Three additional bedrooms, each with character, light, and warmth,  share a full bath and thoughtful built-ins.  Downstairs, the finished basement opens up even more possibility: a game room, movie nights, a second kitchenette, and even a private entrance via a spiral stair.  Out back, there’s charm and function in equal measure: a fenced yard perfect for pets, a cozy fire pit, a sweet garden shed tucked in the corner. All supported by carefully updated systems — three heating zones, central AC, Ring cameras, and wired safety features.

What makes Blake Road truly special isn’t just the features, it’s the feeling. The sense that every corner has been cared for, that this house has been lived in with love.
​
From the Liberty coin to the garden gate, 65 Blake Road is more than a home. It’s a legacy. And it's ready to begin its next chapter with someone new.
