Welcome to this well-loved split-entry home in a quiet Melrose tree-lined neighborhood! The main living area on the second floor offers an open floor plan, lots of natural light, and plenty of room to entertain. The oversized glass-enclosed sunroom off the living room provides extra space for three seasons and will no doubt provide countless opportunities to enjoy your morning routine. In the warmer weather, you'll also enjoy the open-air porch with views of the neighborhood and your own backyard. If you need a work-from-home space or an additional sitting area, look no further than the space adjacent to the upstairs staircase (virtually staged as an office in the photos). The fully finished lower level, with its separate entrance from the driveway, is an ideal space for multi-generational living and includes full-sized windows, a family room with a fireplace and wood stove, two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a kitchen area. Don't miss this unique home in highly sought-after Melrose!
