Property Highlights
This East Side Victorian is a true gem, blending timeless character with modern updates in a location that can’t be beat. Nestled near Melrose Common, the Winthrop School, and vibrant downtown Melrose, this beloved and meticulously restored home is ready to steal your heart.
Step inside and be greeted by a first floor designed for both comfort and style. The updated kitchen is a showstopper with its crisp white and gray palette, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a spacious island, and a cozy window seat that invites you to linger. The living room and dining room are equally charming, with soaring ceilings, elegant crown moldings, gleaming oak floors, and a stunning fireplace that anchors the space.
Head upstairs to the second floor, where three generously sized bedrooms await. The lucky occupant of one room will enjoy access to a delightful Juliet balcony. This level also features a beautifully updated bathroom and a secret bonus room—perfect for storage, a playroom, or a tucked-away office. The third floor is a retreat in itself, boasting a luxurious primary suite with a private updated bath, a dedicated office space, and plenty of room to make it your own.
This home is as functional as it is beautiful, with key updates including mini-split systems for air conditioning, a newer roof, many newer windows, and a detached two-car garage. Outdoors, the charm continues with a classic front porch and a rear deck that overlooks a lush, beautifully landscaped fenced yard—a perfect oasis for relaxing or entertaining.
This is more than a home; it’s a piece of Melrose history, lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter. Don’t miss your chance to make this Victorian treasure yours!
