DESCRIPTION

Warm and inspiring artist’s retreat Victorian in a magical Melrose Highlands neighborhood. It is right near acres and acres of conservation land with trails and a huge rock that has a spectacular view of Boston. From there on the 4th of July you can see fireworks from 4 different towns! This has been a well loved family home with only 2 families as owners in its history.

The house has 3 levels, 4 bedrooms, hardwood floors, high ceilings, a large deck, 3 season porch/room, and a large and inviting living/dining room area. The deck overlooks a backyard of perennial plantings and a small pond. In a prime location near conservation land, on a dead-end street and a short walk to the commuter rail. All the kids walk to their neighborhood schools.

Melrose is a gem of a community, so close to Boston with an abundance of green space and charm. The people of Melrose are known to be passionate about their Victorians! There are home and garden tours every year. Melrose has its own Symphony. There are 3 commuter line stops in the town.

House has been left mostly untouched & old fashioned. It has good bones and much charm but needs some repairs:

• gutters need replacement.
• roof over 3 season porch has leaked.
• need cosmetic TLC

This is a house with a great layout and much charm in a very special neighborhood. If you love old school style and like to do hands on work, this property may interest you. Contact Susan for a showing.
