Welcome to a home where 20 years of meticulous customization has created a space that offers modern living, warmth & character. This beautifully updated and maintained Colonial offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan across 3 levels, blending private living spaces with entertaining areas. Step inside the welcoming entry with a large coat closet, leading into a cozy living room complete with a gas fireplace and energy-efficient tinted privacy windows. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, boasting Quartzite countertops, soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an induction cooktop, a Wi-Fi-enabled microwave/oven, a beverage fridge, and peninsula seating. It flows seamlessly into a spacious dining room built for holiday gatherings. Tucked behind a stylish barn door in the large pantry is a convenient 1st floor laundry. Off the kitchen is a second pantry, 1/2 bath, and a sitting room with windows overlooking the superbly landscaped side and back yards. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes 2 closets and an ensuite bath with a soaking tub, rainfall shower, and radiant floor heat. Two additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath complete the 2nd floor, while a walk-up attic provides excellent storage. The walk-out basement adds incredible versatility, with two heated rooms—each with built-in shelves, perfect for a home office and a gym. Situated on a rare, nearly double-wide lot, the exterior is a showpiece, conscientiously landscaped with a large patio and colorful perennial plants (sustained by an automatic drip watering system) to complement the terrain. It offers multiple private seating areas where you can entertain friends and family or enjoy your coffee and a good book. The expansive lot also offers 2 separate driveways and a 480-sf shed with built-in shelves. New owners will appreciate the unparalleled attention to detail throughout. From premium, professional-grade fixtures to behind-the-scenes mechanical upgrades—including brand-new wiring, plumbing, a Navien combi-boiler with 8 zones, fully insulated walls, spray foam attic ceiling, central vacuum, and ductless mini-splits—nothing was overlooked in restoring this high-efficiency home. Perfect for commuters, this unbeatable location is just half a mile from the Wyoming Hill train station and 1.2 miles from the Oak Grove Orange Line. Plus, you are less than a mile from the heart of downtown Melrose, packed with vibrant shops, top-tier restaurants, and everyday conveniences
