About This Property
"Simply Elegant" is the best way to describe this immaculately
maintained property in the heart of Melrose Park. Constructed in
1923, it's an excellent example of a stately New England Colonial
set on a level 1 acre parcel. A clipped privet hedge lines the
entire front sidewalk while two walkways meander up to either the
front or side entries. The expansive lawns are the envy of the
neighborhood (with an irrigation system supplied by an on-site
well). A large driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles, while
the 2+ car attached garage (there are 3 bays) provides direct
access to either the family room or the basement. One can access
the rear yard from inside the house from the mudroom or the foyer.
There is a large patio that spans half of the rear of the home,
while the back yard is completely flat & wide open (large enough
for a soccer field!). As you approach the front door, you will
begin to appreciate the subtle details of the home, like the leaded
glass fan light over the door. Enter into the marbled center hall
and the staircase provides a beautiful focal point with a large
window on the landing. The powder room & coat closet are tucked
conveniently at the rear of the hall. The living room has a wood
burning fireplace, crown moldings & access to the large covered
porch. The dining room has a large bay window overlooking the front
yard & 2 built-in hutches. The kitchen has great sightlines to the
back yard & has all the necessary appliances. Tucked around the
rear of the kitchen is the 1st floor laundry, the elevator,
mudroom, coat closet & a 2nd powder room. The large family room is
a tasteful interpretation of a mountain lodge with the original
Pine paneling that is in mint condition. Upstairs, the master suite
(which has 2 fireplaces!) has 4 distinct spaces that include a
lovely sitting room, a large dressing room, the sleeping chamber
and an en-suite bathroom. Off the hallway, one can access three
more large bedrooms, a large study/office that has direct access to
the roof deck over the garage & a very large hall bath. Tucked at
the back of the 2nd floor is the rear staircase, elevator & access
to the former servant's quarters which provide a sitting room,
bedroom & the 3rd full bathroom. There is a fully floored attic
that provides a huge amount of storage, as does the un-finished
basement. There is also a central vacuum & 2-zoned high-velocity
A/C. It truly is an elegant home, waiting for you to make
your mark for the next few generations!
