About This Home

A magnificent live oak anchors the front lawn of this thoughtfully updated brick home in Melrose the kind of canopy you simply can't plant and wait for. Inside, the renovation is done and done right: a new roof, new water heater, wide-plank flooring, fresh paint throughout, and can lighting across the main living areas. The living area opens to the dining space and is centered on a brick fireplace flanked by original built-in shelving, with an oversized picture window framing the oak out front. The kitchen features quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry with brass hardware, floating shelves, a tiled backsplash carried to the ceiling, and all-new stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms, two fully renovated baths, plus a bonus room that works as a home office, nursery, or fourth bedroom. The primary bath offers a double vanity and a tiled walk-in shower with rainfall and handheld fixtures; the second bath pairs a soaking tub with its own double vanity. Out back, a deep covered porch with brick paver flooring overlooks a large, level yard with a second live oak and plenty of room to spread out. Move-in ready with real character intact schedule your showing today.
