About this home

Elegance and style are abundant in this classic Col. residence in an area of equally prestigious homes and located on one of the most sought after streets in the desirable Melrose Highlands! Beautifully set on a large 11,256 sq. ft. lot this home has tremendous curb appeal! As you step on to the wrap around front porch you gaze is drawn to the pretty decorative shingles that adorn the bow window. A spacious foyer with gorgeous newel post and fine millwork lead you into the LR which also includes beautiful natural wood mouldings and a soaring tin ceiling! The entrance to the formal DR is beautifully framed by pocket doors! There is plenty of room for family and friends to gather in the eat-in KIT which features SS appliances and lots of counter top/prep space. That hard to find home office/den on the second floor landing also offers a great view of the neighborhood! Five BR's plus a finished LL! Tranquil neighborhood that is a 5 minute stroll to commuter rail, bus, shops and restaurants
