Surrounded by mature native plantings, the property offers wonderful privacy, summer shade, birdwatching, and lovely sunset views.

The living, dining, and family room/office areas offer an appealing flow, while the spacious eat-in kitchen features an updated design, stainless appliances and coffee bar. Classic details and thoughtful design throughout offer plenty of architectural bliss! All three bedrooms and an updated bathroom with large curbless shower are conveniently located on the main floor. Downstairs, enjoy additional living space with a recreation room, bonus room, full bath, laundry, and ample storage. Outside, a detached garage, beautiful stone walls, and garden views complement the private rear patio surrounded by greenery. The spacious front porch offers a wonderful spot for morning coffee, relaxing at the end of the day, or gathering with friends and family. Enjoy the best of Melrose Highlands living, with nearby Whip Hill Park, playgrounds, and the 2,500-acre Middlesex Fells Reservation offering miles of trails and outdoor recreation, including cross-country skiing.
