Listing broker remarks

Tucked into one of Melrose’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this lovingly maintained Garrison-style home has been cherished by its owners for over 25 years. Inside, classic charm meets thoughtful updates with a welcoming living room, formal dining room, and a newly renovated kitchen. An enclosed porch offers a cozy retreat, complemented by a convenient half bath. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath provide restful living, while attic access adds valuable storage. The partially finished basement offers flexibility for work or play. Set beside Bellevue Country Club, the home’s elevated rear deck captures sweeping golf course views—an idyllic backdrop for quiet mornings or evening gatherings.— Brad Hutchinson Real Estate
