A majestic Tudor on what many believe is the best street in Melrose. Steps from Bellevue Golf Club, and a mile from downtown shops, and restaurants. This gracious home features generously large rooms, hardwood floors throughout, a slate roof, wainscoting, a tin ceiling and arched passage ways to name a few. State of the art kitchen and updated baths. Third floor could easily be converted to an au pair suite. Privacy in the back yard with extensive patio areas, plantings and a hot tub for family and friends to enjoy. Pride of ownership shows throughout. A wonderful retreat for everyday living and grand scale entertaining.
