Super Family-Friendly home - Sleeps 5 - Close to Boston and Salem MA!

Private 2 Bedroom close to Boston, Foxborough and Salem! Enjoy the entire private 1st-floor apartment of this home, which was built in 1910. This home has updated amenities while keeping the charm of the original design. This 1,200-square-foot living space features a beautiful, private porch to enjoy the outdoors. This home is located within walking distance to a quaint downtown full of great restaurants and shops. This location is great for people looking to visit Boston, Encore Casino, Salem and all of New England.

This apartment has been recently updated while maintaining the original charm of this 1910-era home. Guests will enjoy a private 2-bedroom apartment with its own entrance. You will gain entry with a keyless lock with a passcode. There is off-street parking for 2 cars. There is a comfy TV room with a smart TV. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with three twin beds (1 set of bunk beds and 1 floor level). Enjoy your coffee or dinner on the lovely and spacious private front porch. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking at home, if that's your thing - dishwasher, disposal, stove, microwave, refrigerator, drip coffee maker and toaster.

This apartment is located on a quiet, dead-end street in a safe neighborhood. There is a park just across the street that has a basketball court, a baseball diamond, green space, and a play structure. This home is just a short walking distance to the vibrant Main Street area, which has coffee shops, a post office, a grocery store, gift shops, restaurants, a wine and cheese shop, and much, much more!

Just down the street is the Middlesex Fells Reservation, which contains over 2500 acres for hiking, rock climbing or cross country skiing. It includes 340 acre Spot Pond which offers sailing, kayak, canoe, and rowboat rentals during the summer. Sailing lessons are also available.

Mount Hood is a wonderful public golf course in Melrose and a short drive from the house.

This home is 6 miles from Boston and close to public transit stations (MBTA). Oak Grove (The Orange Line ) is less than 1 mile. There are numerous bus stops close by that will bring you to Oak Grove. The Wyoming Hill Commuter Rail Station is within walking distance. This train station is two stops away from North Station Boston/Boston Garden (home of the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins) and a gateway station to all of Boston attractions and neighborhoods. This home is located 5 miles from the Encore Casino, 7 miles from Logan Airport, 10 miles from Salem MA. Melrose is located close to major highways Rt. 93, Rt 95 and Rt 1 which will make visiting the New England Sea Coast, historic Salem MA, Mountains and Lakes very convenient. Melrose is a great jumping-off point to all of these locations! 45 miles to Gillette Stadium, the site of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Games!

I am always happy to help you with anything you need. I am available via phone or text.

Wonderful home in great location with responsive host. Plenty of towels, trash bags, toilet paper, soap, etc provided. Full coffee setup was very nice. We were particularly impressed that they brought over salt and came to shovel when snow was in the forecast. The only thing we missed was having a washer/dryer.

N/A re family-friendly. We are both adults. It was clean and wonderful location. I could not find coffee filters so might have those more available. Also, did not find a corkscrew but other than that, it was well appointed, clean and a good stay.

This rental was a perfect hub for our early summer stay in Boston. We liked the nice beds and linens. The place was so clean. The porch was a fun place to sit in the mornings and watch rabbits, squirrels, and birds. It's located close to the train. The host helped us find bus routes to the train. The master has a window AC unit and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom has a strong floor fan. We kept the bedroom doors open so the cool air from the window AC would circulate to the kids room/fan. For the dishwasher, press the start button twice... until you hear the water turn on.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and well kept home on a quiet, dead end street. Location was perfect for everything we were doing in Boston, Salem, and Marblehead. Close to the subway and other amenities you might need while traveling. Good hot water and kitchen is well stocked with dishes, etc. Will absolutely stay here again!

The host was quick to respond if we had any questions, very good place to stay for the price. My only complaint for a family of 5 traveling, I wish there was a washer/dryer. It was clean and had plenty of towels and dishes for us though!
