Museum quality details abound in this classic late 19th century Colonial Revival home in prime east side location. This property was once the home of J.A. Steward, one of Melrose's premiere builders, who built many signature properties throughout the community, such as the Wedding Cake House. Breathtaking Chelsea tile fireplaces in the dining room and front parlor are flanked by intricate natural woodwork using all the common Victoriana designs from egg and dart, bead and dentil moldings and fluted ionic columns. The updated kitchen with center island boasts marble countertops, glass-paneled cabinetry, stainless appliances, wainscoting and hip pendant lighting. Note the gorgeous 12 over 1 windows, the classic hip roof, multiple bays and fancy-cut granite foundation. Stunning mix of wood floors throughout. Third floor retreat has been converted to private master suite with bath and wardrobe room. Central air has been tastefully installed, and this "green" family has put in a pellet stove to warm up the parlor economically and environmentally during cold winter months. Note the incredible custom-blown glass chandelier in the dining room and the hand-milled columns that have been installed between a utilitarian space that serves as a dining room annex area for entertaining and the formal dining room. Lovely two-tiered yard was the setting for a beautiful tented wedding and is fully fenced. Ideal location sited in great east-side neighborhood, yet walking distance to Bellevue Country Club, commuter train, library and downtown Melrose shops and restaurants.
