Midcentury-Remodeled 4BR Home on 2.43 Acres Near City Lake
This thoughtfully reimagined midcentury residence at 1352 City Lake Rd pairs generous scale with modern conveniences across 4,251 square feet and a beautiful 2.43-acre parcel. Enter through a welcoming foyer into expansive living rooms where original midcentury proportions meet updated finishes. The kitchen is designed for everyday life — abundant counter space, modern appliances, and a layout that opens easily to dining and family areas for effortless entertaining.
Four well-proportioned bedrooms and a primary suite occupy private wings — all arranged to maximize flow and usability for families. Significant investments in core systems include a new roof (2024), HVAC/furnace replacement (2023), and a water heater installed in 2025, so buyers gain long-term value with reduced near-term maintenance. Practical features like a mud room with laundry hookups, generous storage, and a two-car attached garage plus circular driveway make daily routines simple.
Step outside and discover a rare combination: the privacy and playroom of 2.43 acres with mature plantings and open yard space that beg for gardens, a playset, or a workshop/garage (subject to local permitting). The property sits minutes from City Lake recreation options and is a short drive to downtown Lexington for dining and community events — an appealing balance of quiet country feel and convenient town access.
If you’re seeking a turnkey family home with room to grow and recent capital improvements already in place, this midcentury-remodel on a large lot deserves an immediate showing. Contact Hollie Lunnen at Coldwell Banker Advantage to schedule a private tour.

A factual market snapshot around City Lake Rd.
Lexington sits within the Triad region where buyers are favoring larger lots and turnkey homes that avoid immediate renovation expense. Over the past year the local market has shown modest appreciation — roughly mid-single digits — and inventory has stabilized, creating opportunities for well-priced, updated properties to sell quickly. This home’s combination of a generous lot (2.43 acres), recent system upgrades (roof 2024; HVAC 2023; water heater 2025), and an attractive midcentury remodel positions it competitively near the $380k–$420k range. Expect responsive interest from family buyers and buyers relocating from higher-cost Triad markets; highlight the ''move-in ready'' condition and outdoor acreage in marketing to capture higher-quality offers.
