Mid-century jewel on market in Lexington

- By MIRIAM SCHWARTZ

Mid-century modern architectu­re dreams do come true.

To wit, 10 Partridge Road, a contempora­ry sloperoofe­d 1962 vintage jewel in Lexington’s sought-after Turning Mill neighborho­od.

For the right buyer, the home’s gracious flow and distinctiv­e style is going to be love at first sight. Hey, when you know, you know. And while Boston-area house hunters looking to put down roots before summer’s end can find similar square footage, they won’t find it in an architectu­rally unique space that is not so much a time capsule as it is a capture of a moment in time.

Sited on more than half an acre, the home — on the market for the first time in decades — is surrounded by a canopy of lush evergreens close to conservati­on land and walking trails in a historical­ly significan­t neighborho­od teeming with midkitchen century digs. Ideal for a growing family, the home also enjoys a prime location across the street from the neighborho­od’s private, resortlike Paint Rock swimming pool and is close to the highly rated Estabrook Elementary School.

Handsomely maintained by the current owners to preserve its distinctiv­e style, the home received updates and additions, including a kitchen bump-out and a step-down addition leading to a formal dining room and home office. A flexible, open floor plan will look familiar to lovers of mid-century modern design, as will the tall ceilings, beams and decorative window compositio­ns that flood the home with natural light.

Outdoor space is abundant, with a large, flat backyard and plenty of shade, as well as a lovely deck off the to enjoy it from.

Getting in and out is a breeze, too. The home has a two-car garage, and is accessible to the Lexpress bus and Route 128.

Open house hours are from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday. To find out more about the home, contact Bill Janovitz with The Janovitz + Tse Team at Compass, 781-8560992.
