Property Description
Waterfront, four bedrooms, and a 26-foot living room with a brick fireplace 12 Fairview Ave doesn't ask you to compromise. This classic 1938 Colonial sits on freshwater frontage in Lincoln a combination of location, character, and space that's genuinely hard to find at any price point. Whether you're sipping coffee in the sunroom watching the water in the morning or unwinding on the patio in the evening, the setting here is something you feel the moment you arrive. Inside, the home delivers the kind of bones that new construction can't replicate. Original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and a brick fireplace anchor a living room that stretches an impressive 26 feet big enough to host the whole family and still have room to breathe. The layout is built for real life: a generous eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, and a sunny enclosed sunroom that blurs the line between inside and out. Four bedrooms upstairs give everyone their own space, with a full bath and half bath rounding out the layout. The detached garage, three additional off-street parking spots, and a full basement with laundry round out a package that checks every practical box. Located in Lincoln with easy access to the interstate, shopping, restaurants, schools, golf, and more this one has it all without compromise.
