919 State Route 40, Melrose, NY 12121

Built in 1878, this remarkable home sits on over 24 acres and captures the ideal balance between preserved character and modern updates. Spacious and inviting, it has been thoughtfully refreshed throughout, with much of the interior freshly painted, giving each room a bright and welcoming feel. The living room showcases striking wood-beam ceilings that highlight the home's original craftsmanship. The newer kitchen features stainless steel appliances, updated light fixtures, a walk-in pantry, and an abundance of natural light that enhances its warm, modern aesthetic. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides comfort and style, while the large bonus room offers flexible living space and connects to the first-floor mudroom by its own staircase. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with two decks—one on the side and one at the back. One acre of the property is completely fenced, and the detached garage adds practicality for storage or workspace needs. Just a short drive to downtown Troy and within an easy commute to Albany. This home's timeless character, modern updates, and expansive acreage make it a truly special property in the heart of Melrose.
