Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac abutting conservation land, uniquely positioned between the Middlesex Fells Reservation and the Whip Hill Estate Conservation Land, this expansive furnished five-bedroom home offers architectural character,... privacy, and over 4,000 square feet of finished living space. Its scale and layout make it particularly well suited for executive relocation, extended professional assignments, and families seeking furnished accommodations with room to spread out.

The main level unfolds with a cohesive open-concept layout integrating kitchen, dining, and living areas. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and skylights give the main level both vertical scale and natural light. A stone electric fireplace wall anchors the dining area, while the adjacent living room provides expansive seating for gathering or quiet evenings at home. The chef’s kitchen centers around an oversized island with stainless steel appliances and ample prep space, scaled to handle shared meals, hosting, and longer-term occupancy without crowding the space.

Off the main living area, a heated sunroom wrapped in windows extends the footprint year-round, maintaining visual connection to the wooded surroundings and offering direct outdoor access. A library with an electric fireplace adds a quieter counterpoint to the primary gathering spaces, suited for reading or focused work.

The five bedrooms include two king rooms and three queen rooms, thoughtfully positioned across multiple levels for privacy and flexibility. In total, the home offers four bathrooms, including steam showers and a soaking tub.

An in-law suite occupies its own private wing, complete with a separate entrance. Designed for meaningful independence during longer stays, the suite includes a full kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, microwave, and dedicated prep space, along with a private ensuite bath featuring a steam shower, double vanity, and clawfoot soaking tub.

The finished lower level functions as an additional gathering wing, offering arcade gaming, foosball, flexible movie-ready lounge areas, bean-bag seating, and an additional refrigerator to support longer stays. A dedicated fitness studio includes a punching bag, weights, yoga setup, and putting green.

Outside, a firepit seating area continues that connection to the wooded surroundings. With conservation land directly abutting the property, shifting light through the trees and seasonal wildlife (from deer at the edge of the yard to the quiet movement of birds overhead) becomes part of daily life, reinforcing the sense of privacy while remaining close to the city.

The home sits within easy reach of the Fells’ trail network, Spot Pond, and the Stone Zoo. Stoneham Center and the Greater Boston Stage Company provide a steady local presence along Main Street, while grocery options including Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, and Whole Foods remain close at hand. The Melrose Highlands and Melrose / Cedar Park MBTA commuter rail stations are nearby, and direct access to I-93 places downtown Boston approximately twenty minutes away. Burlington and Woburn’s corporate corridors — along with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center — are easily accessible from this residential setting.

With distinct living zones across three levels, a private in-law wing with kitchenette, and generous common areas designed for both gathering and separation, the home adapts easily to medical fellowships, hospital rotations, corporate team placements, visiting faculty appointments, and high-demand event travel. Its size and independence allow multiple occupants to reside comfortably under one roof without sacrificing privacy — a rare combination this close to the city. Read More
