As you are headed down Baker Ave, toward Peacock Farm Rd, my house is the last traditional looking house on the right before the houses become Bauhaus style, and before the road becomes Peacock Farm Rd and starts to curve.

If you drive, please read about parking.

By Lexpress

Use Google Maps, which is integrated with Lexpress and the MBTA, to plan a route via Lexpress.

Or, take the Route 1 Lexpress bus to the intersection of Baker Ave and Butler Ave. Walk southwest on Baker for about 100 feet. 81 Baker is on the right.

By MBTA

Use Google Maps, which is integrated with Lexpress and the MBTA, to plan a route via the MBTA.

Or use the following information. Make sure you check the times to see when all these buses run; in general the 77 runs the most.

  • Closest: Take the 62 bus to the intersection of Charles St and Massachusetts Ave and walk (.4 mi). You can pick up the 62 at the Alewife stop on the Red Line, and along Massachusetts Ave in Lexington and Arlington Heights west of Park Ave.
  • Second closest: Take the 76 bus to Wilson Farm and walk (.8 mi). You can pick up the 76 at the Alewife stop on the Red Line, along Massachusetts Ave in Lexington between Lexington Center and Wilson Farms, and along Marrett Rd between old Massachusetts Ave and Waltham St.
  • Third closest: Take the 77 bus to the end, the Arlington Heights Busway. Then walk (1 mi). You can pick up the 77 at the Harvard or Porter Red Line stops or anywhere on Massachusetts Ave between Harvard Square and the Arlington Heights Busway.
  • Other options: The 78 bus, 79 bus and 84 bus also all get pretty close to my house.
