From the stone stanchions on the entry stairs, to the five leaded glass windows and columned entry to the dining room, this turn-of-the-century Colonial offers great inherent detail, and has been painstakingly restored and preserved by the current owner. Soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, new crown molding, fireplaced living room with brick hearth and surround sound and hip and trendy decorator paint colors make this an outstanding three-bedroom property in the heart of Melrose Highlands. The grounds have been extensively landscaped and include a serpentine-shaped brick path and patio lined by cobblestones. The piece de resistance is an exceptionally spacious, new full bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub, double sinks, great new tile work and bead board. The largest bedroom features a side room, currently being used as an office that could also be developed into a walk-in closet, nursery or future bath (wet wall on left). Note the well-tended perennial beds around the perimeter of the property atop the gorgeous stone walls and in the side yard garden. Large, refreshed kitchen absorbs great sun and has super convenient pantry (all appliances 2 years old). The home has been almost completely re-wired and many, many of the pipes in the basement and to the new bath have been replaced. The furnace was new in 2005 (programmable thermostats!). Exterior painted 2004. Ceiling fans in three bedrooms. New water service pipes to home. Great attic storage and hallway linen closet. Sited in a highly desirable neighborhood of vintage homes, walking distance to the commuter rail, this is a distinguished property.
