About This Home
On one of Melrose’s most storied streets in the coveted Bellevue enclave, this grand Colonial Revival stands with quiet confidence in masterclass early 20th-century craftsmanship. With its sweeping, wraparound farmer’s porch (a portion screened for late summer evenings), the home invites both presence and pause. Inside, natural light pours through generous windows, illuminating a stately hearth and living room, flanked by a formal study and private office. The recently updated eat-in kitchen blends utility with charm. Upstairs, the primary suite stuns with scale. A true retreat with its own sitting room. Central A/C encompasses the second and third floors. And below, a finished, above-grade lower level offers rare flexibility, ideal for in-laws, an au pair, or thoughtfully appointed ADU. This is not merely a home; it’s a place of provenance.
