About this home
Tucked into one of Melrose's most cherished neighborhoods, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Colonial offers more than just a home, it offers a lifestyle. Enjoy a short stroll to downtown shops and restaurants, the library, farmers market, commuter rail, and neighborhood favorites like Table 4. Overlooking Gooch Park, the setting provides a rare sense of openness just moments from downtown. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character, the home features mini-split heating and cooling, solar panels, a first-floor half bath, and a dedicated home office that could also serve as a playroom. The inviting front porch is a favorite gathering spot, screened during the warmer months for outdoor dining, relaxing, and connecting with neighbors. Cement-board siding, architectural shingles inspired by the home's original design, and a timeless color palette enhance its curb appeal. A wonderful blend of character, convenience, and community.
