Completely reimagined from top to bottom, 2 Hemenway Avenue offers nearly 3,000 square feet of beautifully finished living space in Melrose’s desirable Mount Hood neighborhood. Gut-renovated in 2023, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home pairs sophisticated design and exceptional craftsmanship with thoughtful functionality for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a showpiece kitchen featuring a full Thermador appliance package, custom cabinetry, stone countertops, an oversized sink, and a dedicated breakfast nook. An adjoining dining room provides space for larger gatherings, while the kitchen flows naturally into an inviting living room anchored by a newly constructed wood-burning fireplace. A separate bar room creates another distinctive space for entertaining. The primary suite is a private retreat with two walk-in closets, including a custom dressing closet with built-in makeup vanity. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, while a dedicated home gym adds everyday convenience. The quality extends beyond the finishes with Andersen 400 Series windows, custom window treatments, new plumbing and electrical, Bosch HVAC systems, Navien tankless hot water, and built-in indoor/outdoor speakers. Outside, mature landscaping and a generous yard surround a TimberTech AZEK deck in English Walnut with AZEK railings, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The home also features 50-year Hardie Board siding, a 30-year architectural shingle roof, new driveway, and 9-zone irrigation. The oversized garage features 2023 epoxy flooring, a 60-amp Tesla EV charger, and ample room for cars, gear, and storage. Approximately two miles from Oak Grove Orange Line and Wyoming Hill commuter rail stations, this turnkey Mount Hood home offers an exceptional combination of craftsmanship, space, privacy, and convenient access to Boston.
