About this home

OH Sat/Sun, 12:30-2. Welcome to 252 Lex Ave, an inviting & elegant 4-br, 3-bth home on 2 levels in Huron Village & adjacent to 162-acre Fresh Pond Reservation. The building was completely rebuilt in 2026. An open-concept ~28’ x18’ space makes a great first impression: white oak floors softly reflect abundant light from big, south-facing windows & 2 bays. A big island w/ custom cabinets & quartz countertops provides the kitchen centerpiece. A 36” Thermador Pro induction range w/ fully vented hood & Pro refrigerator will challenge you to fill the seemingly endless counter space. The generous primary bedroom suite is just as impressive w/ en suite bath w/ custom tile work & rain-shower; double-sink, double-mirror vanity, hand-selected quartz finishes & heated flr. There is a big walk-in closet. A 2nd br & elegant bath are also on this level. The sunny lower level — family room, wet bar, 2 bedrooms, bath & full-size laundry room gives this residence the feeling of a sf. One prkng/ERV
