About this home

Stunning Victorian brimming with period charm, available for rent for the first time! An inviting three-season porch welcomes you into a gracious foyer, setting the tone for this special home. Just off the foyer, a spacious living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, both showcasing beautiful period details. At the back of the home, an eat-in kitchen opens to the patio and garden area, as well as an exceptionally rare three-car garage. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, while the third floor features a large bedroom, an additional bathroom, and a versatile office area. Mini-splits have been added to most rooms, providing air conditioning as well as a supplemental heat source when needed. The expansive basement includes laundry, abundant storage, and a newly added basement floor. The location is hard to beat—tucked away on a quiet side street, yet just moments from everything downtown Melrose has to offer, including shops, restaurants, and public transportation. A rare opportunity to enjoy the space, character, and convenience of this beautiful Victorian!
