Property Description
"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!
