About this home

Step through the door of this 1886 Victorian and you're not stepping into a rental — you're stepping into a home. Soaring ceilings that are tall the way old houses meant them to be. Ornate gilt crown molding. Original dark wood pocket doors. Floors with the right creak. A full modern remodel underneath all of it. Curated art on the walls. Designer furniture in every room. This is a home that was lived in before you arrived, and it feels like one. There are two places to work, two places to eat, and four off-street parking spots waiting when you pull in.

You're in Melrose's historic East Side, walk five minutes to downtown Melrose — cafés, a French bakery, restaurants, bars, and groceries all within easy reach. Reach Boston by car in 20 minutes or use the nearby Orange Line T or Commuter Rail.

20 minutes to: Freedom Trail, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, The North End, USS Constitution & Museum, New England Aquarium, Museum of Science, Boston Duck Tours,

Consistently 5-star hosting

This was a gorgeous place to stay!! Todd was so kind and responsive, even checking in on us from time to time to make sure everything was great and even offer suggestions. The home is equipped with great amenities and enough space for guests to feel comfortable. We couldn’t have been happier with the place, the value, and our time there.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. What truly stood out was how helpful the host was throughout our visit. They were responsive, accommodating, and even went above and beyond by offering to ship back an item we accidentally left behind. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to future guests!

This was a really beautiful old home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was so well decked out that I wished I had more to time there so I could have a chance to cook. Todd was very responsive and made every effort to accomodate our requests.
