About This Property

Welcome to Lexington's famous Upper Turning Mill neighborhood surrounded by 700 acres of woodland and wildlife habitat.

Fabulous woodsy views from every window!  A stunning  2 story open atrium connects the first and ground level family room with a corridor library!  The whimsical industrial design maximizes privacy and proximity to nature by taking full advantage of the tranquil hillside setting.
