Nestled within highly desirable Merriam Hill and offering a prime location only steps to the town center and on one of the most historic sites in Lexington, 16 Meriam Street is sited on the very spot where Samuel Adams exclaimed to John Hancock upon hearing the first shots of the revolution, "Oh what a glorious morning for America!"

The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring a gas fireplace with a quartz surround and double French doors to a private balcony with Ipe flooring overlooking the backyard. A huge walk-in closet offers a window seat, a curved hanging area, and custom built-ins to provide the ultimate organization. The spa-like primary bathroom features an additional gas fireplace, and a dual sink vanity with a glass countertop and glass vessel sinks. Retreat to the secluded third level with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, perfect to use as a teen/au pair suite. Enjoy the home theater with 110" screen, high-definition Sony projector, and 7.1 surround sound system for an immersive cinematic experience. Slate tile flooring flows throughout the rest of the lower level, complete with a game room, home gym, and mudroom. Venture outdoors to find your very own private resort. The huge bluestone patio offers lots of space for outdoor enjoyment, including the barbecue station and a granite-topped breakfast bar. The heated saltwater lap pool glistens in the backdrop with its infinity waterfall, a welcome retreat on hot summer days.
