Welcome to 220 Melrose – The Perfect Family Home with Room to Grow Situated on a generous 10,080 sq. ft. lot, this charming property offers fantastic curb appeal, space for gardens, and a backyard ready for kids, pets, and summer barbecues. Inside, the main floor boasts four spacious bedrooms, a bright and inviting living room with a cozy fireplace and bay window, and a formal dining room ideal for gatherings. The kitchen features freshly painted cabinetry with updated hardware, the hardwood floors—recently uncovered add to the charm of the home, with even more preserved beneath the living and dining room carpet. An attached garage provides parking for one vehicle plus room for your tools or hobbies. The walk-out lower level adds even more versatility, offering a large rec room with new flooring and fresh paint, a three-piece bath, laundry area, dedicated office, and generous storage space—ready to remain as-is or be transformed into additional living space. Lovingly maintained over the years, the owners have already taken care of key updates so you can move in and enjoy including a metal roof, spray foam in the basement and blown in attic insulation. You will love the location, the top end of Melrose Ave is very quiet, and a short commute to downtown, very close to the 102 and 103. Walking distance to elementary and middle schools. Bayer's lake shopping center and Halifax Shopping Center are just around the corner! 220 Melrose is more than a house—it’s a home with great bones, thoughtful updates and endless potential for a lower unit or you to make it your own.
