About This Home
As of September 2017Classic French grace and elegance with this 1849 Mansard masterpiece. Soaring ceilings with Victorian-era medallions grace the formal dining room master bedroom and office. The rare cupola provides a private lookout atop this home. A custom spa tub in the downstairs bath or a quaint, shabby chic porch give this home plenty of spaces and settings to unwind and relax. Behold the backyard oasis and swimming pool...spaciousness and privacy usually associated with towns much further away from Boston. Plenty of additional space for storage on the 3rd floor and a partially finished basement with an antique wine rack yield limitless possibility. Adjacent to La Qchara cafe, the new T'hapas 529 restaurant, the commuter rail and other shops make this Highlands location the new destination in Melrose for dining and retail.
