Description

Built in 1922, 139 Melrose Ave is the perfect blend of historic and classic charm while blending in modern finishes and amenities! Nestled in a prime location walking distance to Old Town, this beautifully upgraded home features custom millwork throughout, preserving its timeless appeal while offering contemporary conveniences. Past the cozy front porch and stepping inside, you are greeted into the light & bright foyer featuring refinished hardwood floors complete with a custom African Wenge inlay. To the left you’ll find the living area boasting custom crown molding, a wood burning fireplace, and a bay window adding to the already charming space. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing solid wood cabinets with soft-close drawers and doors, complemented by stunning Tasmanian granite countertops. The cozy breakfast nook with a built-in bench is the perfect spot for morning coffee. Additionally, downstairs you will find the formal dining room with custom wainscoting, a full guest bathroom, and a California basement with storage racks. Heading upstairs, the primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, featuring an en-suite bathroom with luxurious herringbone marble floors, a dual vanity, and two spacious walk-in closets. Two additional guest bedrooms each offer generous walk-in closet space, while the full guest bathroom upstairs includes an extra-deep soaking tub—perfect for unwinding. One of the secondary bedrooms offers incredible views of the lower Foothills. The home also boasts a large attic for additional storage, ensuring everything has its place. Moving outside, the expansive backyard offers endless possibilities, with a detached two-car garage and an additional workshop, ideal for hobbies or extra storage. With potential for an ADU, this property provides ample space for future expansion and hosting large gatherings. The deep driveway ensures plenty of parking, even large enough for an RV. Also, enjoy outdoor activities on your private sport court. This home offers the perfect balance of historical elegance and modern functionality, making it a rare find not to be missed!
