About This Home
As of July 2026The group chat is about to lose it's mind! Welcome to 26 1st Street, a beautifully remodeled home that nails the balance of modern design and everyday functionality. The open-concept layout is made for hosting, with a show-stopping kitchen featuring a waterfall-edge island, sleek finishes, and a brand-new refrigerator that flows effortlessly into bright living and dining spaces. Hardwood floors run throughout, while the spacious primary suite offers the kind of private retreat you'll actually look forward to at the end of the day. Plug in your EV with the garage charger before heading out or stay home and enjoy your front porch or fenced in yard. A brand-new A/C unit and condenser already in place, the big-ticket updates are done. Tucked away on Melrose's sought-after East Side, you're just minutes from Melrose Common and an easy stroll to downtown's local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Stylish, move-in ready, and perfectly located.
