Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern upgrades in this stately home nestled in the heart of Melrose Highlands. The home's original woodwork, much of it unpainted, adds a touch of timeless elegance. Gleaming hardwood floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The southern exposure allows for breathtaking views and an abundance of sunlight throughout the day. While discrete rooms provide privacy, the central hallways and main staircase create an open and flowing layout that connects the spaces seamlessly. New: kitchen and luxury tiled bath. 2016: gas-converted forced hot air heat and central air, exterior paint and insulation. Tucked away from busy streets, yet conveniently close to shops, restaurants, Whole Foods and the commuter rail, this home offers the ideal blend of tranquility and accessibility. Experience a sense of community with a park-like atmosphere and friendly neighbors. Gracious front porch and screened rear porch. Welcome HOME!
