About This Home
As of March 2025Lovingly cared for by one family for over 60 years! So much charm and character with this Melrose Highland's Victorian. Enter from the enclosed porch to gleaming hardwood throughout the first floor. Large EIK with stainless steel appliances and slider out to the composite deck. Open concept for Dining and Living Room, perfect for entertaining or sitting around the wood burning fireplace. Full bath rounds out the first floor! Three spacious bedrooms plus a large full bath on the 2nd floor and bring your ideas for the 3rd floor - maybe a huge primary suite or massive gameroom for the kids! Partially finished basement with laundry and workshop. Nicely situated on a corner lot in one of the best neighborhoods Melrose has to offer! Half a mile to Whip Hill Park too! This gem won't last! Open Houses this Saturday and Sunday!
