The Hancock School condominium occupies a single-story footprint within the restored 1891 Hancock School, a converted historic schoolhouse located in central Lexington. The property was comprehensively renovated in the early 2010s, preserving period elements such as exposed brick archways, original dark beams and oversized arched schoolhouse windows while introducing modern infrastructure — new roof, updated plumbing, heating and electrical systems. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts plus duplex-style conversions that exploit tall ceilings and lofted spaces; some residences feature interior balconies, two-story living rooms with 20+-foot ceilings, skylights and open-plan kitchen–dining–living arrangements. Interior finishes across units range from Carrera or granite baths and maple or cherry cabinetry to hardwood floors, skylights, built-in storage and in-unit laundry hookups. Exterior amenities and grounds emphasize intimate private spaces: deeded or exclusive-use patios surrounded by stone walls, mature plantings, fenced yards, gardens and fruit trees. Practical features include deeded parking with optional additional leased spaces, exclusive storage/utility rooms, elevator access and low-energy systems. Located steps from Lexington Center, Belfry Hill Park and the Minuteman Bikeway, the building sits within a walkable neighborhood of shops, restaurants, library and recreational facilities, combining historic character with contemporary condominium serviceability.
