Perfectly positioned just moments from vibrant downtown Melrose and the MBTA commuter rail, this thoughtfully renovated colonial flawlessly blends timeless architectural detail and refined modern updates. Lightly lived in, the home offers central AC, upgraded electrical, and a fully reimagined chef’s kitchen that opens to a dining room with elegant built-ins and a functional mudroom with direct outdoor access. The living room features a gas fireplace with marble surround and flows into an enclosed porch – a generous extension of flexible living space for much of the year. Upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully tiled bath. Outside, newer retaining walls, granite steps, walkways and patio are surrounded by mature perennial plantings alongside four off-street parking spaces and a detached garage. Easy access to Melrose’s treasured green spaces – Pine Banks Park and the Middlesex Fells Reservation – further enhance this exceptional offering.
