On one of Melrose’s most storied streets in the coveted Bellevue enclave, this grand Colonial Revival stands with quiet confidence in masterclass early 20th-century craftsmanship. With its sweeping, wraparound farmer’s porch (a portion screened for late summer evenings), the home invites both presence and pause. Inside, natural light pours through generous windows, illuminating a stately hearth and living room, flanked by a formal study and private office. The recently updated eat-in kitchen blends utility with charm. Upstairs, the primary suite stuns with scale. A true retreat with its own sitting room. Central A/C encompasses the second and third floors. And below, a finished, above-grade lower level offers rare flexibility, ideal for in-laws, an au pair, or thoughtfully appointed ADU. This is not merely a home; it’s a place of provenance.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
