Truly AMAZING! The best kept secret in Melrose, on one of our most desirable streets! Off the beaten path but close to everything. Enjoy your private 14,000 sf oasis just seven miles from Boston and a short walk to the commuter rail and our popular shops and restaurants. Unique opportunity to experience the delights of a custom designed mid-century modern home on a gorgeous and private landscaped lot including the most amazing custom outdoor shower! The large windows invite the outside in while the Frank Lloyd Wright-looking design fits the natural setting like a glove. Watch the passing of the seasons from the open kitchen/dining/family room. Host family and friends on the spacious inviting deck with its built-in Lion grill and gas heater. The newly renovated lower level entertainment area boasts a fireplace and a new full bath. There's also a private den or home office just in case you feel like working. There is no other property like this in Melrose. Don't miss out!
Architectural gem designed by renowned Boston firm of Shepley Bulfinch. Timeless mid-century contemporary is a blend of Arts & Crafts, Prairie, and Japanese style. Reminiscent of world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this home is very organic, with California redwood siding, Honduras mahogany, oak floors, red brick, stone and slate. Wonderful open airy flow and expansive use of windows make this a delightful retreat in a very woodsy setting.
