Located in the heart of Melrose, this charming cottage-style home offers character, thoughtful updates, and a peaceful setting on a beautifully landscaped 0.34-acre lot backing to Champagne Creek. The inviting covered front porch welcomes you into a bright, open-concept living space filled with natural light. The spacious kitchen features a center island, breakfast bar, and opens to the dining and living areas, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 spacious bathroom, including two bedrooms on the main level and a versatile upstairs bedroom that's large enough to be divided into two separate rooms, creating an ideal shared space, or used as a home office, hobby room, or bonus area. Character details like built-in banquette seating, window seats, and a walk-in shower add warmth throughout, while the large primary bedroom features an oversized walk-in closet. Recent updates include a brand-new furnace and central A/C, new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a durable metal roof for added peace of mind. All kitchen appliances, plus the washer and dryer, are included. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a patio, raised garden beds, mature landscaping, an Asian pear tree, two storage buildings, and plenty of room to relax or play. The picket-fenced front yard adds to the home's cottage appeal, a large garage for covered parking and storage, while the turnaround driveway and ample off-street parking provide convenience. Bordering a large maintained open field, this property offers the perfect blend of country charm, privacy, and outdoor space in desirable Melrose.
