About This Home

As of December 2018

Where the sidewalk ends with one foot in the Melrose Highlands and the other in the desirable Horace Mann neighborhood, 63 Reading Hill Ave offers unique privacy and peace just a short stroll from downtown Melrose, the commuter rail, and Whole Foods. Updated chef's kitchen with granite counters, ceiling height cabinets and stainless appliances, new bathrooms, and original heart pine floors throughout makes this home a gem. Newer systems allow you to just move right in and enjoy. FIVE bedrooms and FOUR levels of living space with a full walkout bone-dry basement allow space for the entire family. The third floor also offers the perfect opportunity to create your dream master suite with two good sized bedrooms and ample storage. Giant tiered DOUBLE lot, that used to be an orchard, is a dream for gardeners or someone looking for a respite from city life.
