Rich period details and flexible living areas give this antique Melrose residence a character all its own.

This bonus level attic space offers appealing versatility for hobbies, creative pursuits, or additional storage. The front porch and back deck provide places to enjoy the open air, while the yard and storage shed accommodate gardening and outdoor essentials. The attached one car garage keeps you out of the elements and offers more storage.
