Picture-perfect. Situated on a quiet side street in Melrose Highlands, this Victorian home is both centrally located and peacefully residential. An enclosed front porch leads into the gracious foyer. The living room, with its tiled period fireplace and bay window, and dining room, which also features a bay window, are elegant and spacious. The kitchen was completely remodeled with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a separate laundry room. On the second floor, three large bedrooms share a renovated bathroom featuring double sinks, heated floor, and a built-in hamper. The third floor consists of an open bedroom suite with a sitting area and full bathroom with heated floor and separate soaking tub and shower. Central AC, high-efficiency heat, Nest thermostat and front doorbell, and full basement with tool bench. Fully fenced in, the backyard was lovingly improved over time to include a stone patio, a raised bed, and mature plantings. Close to public transportation, schools, and other amenities. A great home in a very desirable neighborhood!
