A truly RARE opportunity to own one of only a handful of WATERFRONT homes on the shores of Ell Pond! This Mansard style Victorian Two Family offers direct access to Ell Pond where you can kayak, canoe, skate or fish. This peaceful, bucolic setting offers stunning views of the pond with its resident swans and many other species of birds and wildlife. Relax on the deck or patio in the warm weather and the two enclosed rear porches will extend your views of the water when the cooler weather returns. The kitchens feature granite countertops, stainless appliances & updated cabinets. Both bathrooms have ceremic tile shower and tub enclosures, tile floors and updated vanities. Both units include a den/office ideally suited for those who work from home or enjoy a cozy spot to curl up with a good book. Commuters will appreciate the access to the Commuter Rail and bus which a short stroll away as is the Farmers Market, Whole Foods and downtown Melrose brimming with fine restaurants and shops.
