About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5-bedroom house. Close to airport, bus & train. 10 min from Boston. Sleeps 10.

5-bedroom, 2 full bath house, 7 mi to Boston/airport, 1000 FT to bus and train and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Luxury appointments, upscale furniture, hotel bedding, "5-star kitchen" per a famous chef who stayed, AC/heat (mini-splits) in all rooms, fenced in yard, and 3-car driveway.

The City of Melrose was the #1 real estate market in the U.S. in 2015 and #4 in 2020 (search "hottest zip code melrose ma 2015"). It receives praise from visitors due to its quaint downtown within walking distance, restaurants and a Whole Foods supermarket.

*1st Floor: Large, open-concept, "5-star kitchen," (includes paper towel roll, dish cloths, new sponge and food staples, e.g. cooking oil, spices, sugar, coffee, etc.); dining room; full bath; and foyer. Large 20x20 deck off of the kitchen with gas grill.

*2nd Floor: 4 bedrooms (3 queen beds, 1 full), washer & dryer, and full bath.

*3rd Floor: Finished attic bedroom with queen bed.

*Basement: Large finished room.

2 Pack 'n Play, 2 high chairs, baby gate and stroller

The driveway holds 3 cars, but the 3rd spot is tight. There is no on-street parking overnight.

Check in is 3:30 pm or later and check out is by 11 am, but I can accommodate early arrivals or late departures depending on other guests' timing. Please contact me to coordinate about 2 weeks prior.

Please tell me about your group, pets and the reason you're visiting when inquiring or booking. Someone in the group must be at least 35-years old, but I make exceptions. Parties will result in immediate eviction, no refund for the remaining days, and a charge for any cleaning beyond the normal cleaning fee.

Boston Marathon guests must arrive on at least the Friday of the weekend prior.

Beautiful old home! Great neighborhood! The close proximity to Boston allowed us to pack a lot of adventure into 3 days. Close to the train station and the T was easy to navigate. This house was so nice and comfortable to come home to every evening. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck was a lovely place to hang out, we celebrated our last evening of vacation on the deck with cannolis from Mike’s Pastry.

This was a lovely property and was exactly as it was listed. The house had all the amenities that my group of 9 - 6 adults, 3 kids - needed. The house was very clean and well kept. Greg was very responsive to my emails. I wanted to check in 30 minutes early and he really worked with me to make it happen. He also came by and took out the trash for us and asked us if we needed anything. The check-in and check-out process was very straightforward. His directions about what to do on our departure day was very clear and easy.
