About This Home
Perfectly positioned on a peaceful residential street, 2 Laurel Street offers the rare combination of privacy, recreation, and effortless connectivity.

It's a location designed for those who value both tranquility and convenience.This well-maintained and updated Colonial hits a sweet spot for Lexington buyers: the lot is large at almost .4 acres and the home is modern enough that you’re not inheriting major renovation projects, but not priced like new construction.

The partially finished basement gives you flexibility—playroom, office, or gym—without being fully counted living space. Enjoy the 2 car garage with additional driveway parking, outdoor deck, and large yard.What to love about this location:- Quiet neighborhood setting- Minutes to Lexington Center- Close to the Minuteman Bikeway- Easy access to Route 128 & Cambridge- Highly regarded Lexington schoolsParks, trails, shopping, and dining nearbyAdditional information:- 1997 home age - windows and roof original- Kitchen renovated in 2023, primary bath 2018, recently repainted, New 2026 Samsung washer- 2 zone heating and cooling, one system is newer and the other is original.
