About This Home
As of July 2021Welcome to 1903 Melrose Ave. This home is unexpectedly for sale as the current residents are moving to Colorado. It is your chance to take advantage of all the updates they have recently made. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac and desirable neighborhood, this is the perfect place to raise a family. The home is within walking distance to Lynnewood Elementary and a hop skip, and a jump to shopping, transportation, and the Blue Route. This lovely brick colonial includes solar panels. Guess what? Instead of worrying about rising electric bills, you'll be receiving about $200 a year in payback for the power you are generating!! The sunny front porch swing is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee and think about how much energy your solar panels generate. Parking is a cinch with a one-car garage and a long driveway. Enter the front door, and the first thing you notice is the new hardwoods and the bright and open living and dining rooms. Extra lighting has been added to keep things illuminated. The kitchen includes brand new stainless steel appliances and connects to a beautiful three-season room where you can hang out and enjoy the view of your giant backyard! The hillside, professionally landscaped, features low-maintenance indigenous plants. The backyard also includes a large shed and a paver patio for BBQ's. The basement stairs lead off the kitchen into the newly finished space with great lighting and room for a sectional sofa. It's a place to hang out with the family or watch TV. The basement laundry area has a new washer and gas dryer. The HVAC system and water heater are also both newer. Upstairs there are three bright, sizable bedrooms and a dressing room(or nursery). The second floor has the original red oak hardwoods, all in great shape. There are new Hunter ceiling fans throughout! This is your chance to take advantage of all the improvements this family has made. Priced to sell for relocation. Note there are two properties on the same street pending for significantly more. Make an appointment now before it's gone!!!!
