This Melrose home looks as if it were plucked out of a fairy tale
The home, which went on the market on July 17 for $779,000, has three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath.
With its sharply gabled roof, bold colors, and windowed keystone arch foundation, this Melrose single-family seems fit for a cast of fantastical characters.
133 Upham St. has the charm of an English Cottage. The home, which went on the market on July 17 for $779,000 (and had a accepted offer one week later, sorry), has three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath.
Behind a front door with a lattice-style window is a living and dining space separated by a brick two-sided fireplace. The living area also offers a hardwood floor and a comfy window seat. The kitchen, found on the other side of a breakfast bar, features granite countertops, mahogany cabinets, an appliance garage, and stainless-steel appliances, including a high-end stove. Just outside the dining area, a spiral staircase leads to a paver patio.
The master suite is also on the first floor, and it’s bathroom looks like a calming after-work retreat. A soaking tub rests before a fireplace in a room with two tall, cone-like sinks, lattice windows, elegant woodwork, a window seat bump-out, and a separate frameless-glass shower.
Upstairs holds two bedrooms (one has beautiful French doors under a long transom window), an updated bathroom, and storage space.
Built in 1939, the 1,519-square-foot residence sits on 0.18 of an acre that’s fenced in and has a circular paver driveway.
The listing agent is Alison Socha of Leading Edge Real Estate.
