About this home

Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern upgrades in this stately home nestled in the heart of Melrose Highlands. The home's original woodwork, much of it unpainted, adds a touch of timeless elegance. Gleaming hardwood floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The southern exposure allows for breathtaking views and an abundance of sunlight throughout the day. While discrete rooms provide privacy, the central hallways and main staircase create an open and flowing layout that connects the spaces seamlessly. New: kitchen and luxury tiled bath. 2016: gas-converted forced hot air heat and central air, exterior paint and insulation. Tucked away from busy streets, yet conveniently close to shops, restaurants, Whole Foods and the commuter rail, this home offers the ideal blend of tranquility and accessibility. Experience a sense of community with a park-like atmosphere and friendly neighbors. Gracious front porch and screened rear porch. Welcome HOME!

Stately, spacious turn of the century colonial with a Victorian flare. Walk in the front door and step into a gracious era complete with lovely stained glass window panels on either side of the front door and the upstairs hall window, dental molding and period woodworking. With updating this "diamond in the rough" would provide elegant, versatile space for today's living. The dining room is open to a parlor/siting room. A separate living room and kitchen with pantry and mudroom completes the 1st floor. The second floor features 4 generous bedrooms. Need additional bedrooms, a media room or office? The 3rd floor offers two more large rooms to meet your needs. Outside enjoy the large covered front porch or the more intimate screened rear porch off the kitchen. All this a short distance from the Melrose Highlands and the commuter rail.
