The Agent Loves
"At almost 100 years old 16 Melrose Street is truly something special. From the stylishly appointed kitchen to the 60-year-old magnolia trees, everywhere you look there is beauty. The natural light and sunsets that shine through the kitchen are breathtaking while the cottage style landscaping and design of the backyard provides a child-friendly, private retreat"
