Sited on the corner of the two streets best known for their exemplary 19th century architecture, one of which, Bellevue Avenue, was named best address in Melrose by Boston Magazine, sits the home known locally as the Wisteria house for its prolific blooms in late spring which frame the front porch.
Prominent Physician, Dr. Marcoux, for whom the high school gym is named, lived in this home on E. Emerson and Bellevue Avenue in the mid 20th century and typical of the doctors who lived on “Doctors’ Row” used this property as his home and office, so we have an exceptional amount of space on the first floor totaling 7 rooms. The doctor’s offices have since been converted to family room and dual home office area that enhances the first floor livability.
Grand entry with beautiful stairway, greets you when you enter. Note the keystone arched doorways in several of the first floor rooms. Working fireplace in the living room with classic mantel. Note the crown moldings, chair rail and beautiful moldings around bay windows and doors. Updated kitchen and private breakfast room are in the back of the house and open to beautiful deck overlooking in-ground pool, garden and beautiful landscaping.
This home boasts 3 full baths and one half bath, with a full bath on every floor. Second floor bedrooms are generous and two additional bedrooms are located on the third floor. Two-car attached garage. This home is beautifully maintained, but cosmetically is neither newly renovated or older, with a majority of the work having been done in the early 1990’s – so a new buyer may want to consider putting that new millennium touch on this exceptional vintage property. Located walking distance to the commuter rail, library, downtown shops and restaurants this property exudes charm inside and out and is ideally located in a beautiful neighborhood with walkable destinations – perfect in a time when people desire vintage character, exceptional neighborhood and demand a location where they don’t need to rely on a car. Security System.
