From the moment you first set eyes on 309 Melbourne Ave, you will be wowed by the curb appeal and charm overflowing from this adorable French colonial nestled in the heart of the desirable Castle Park neighborhood. A stately retaining wall lines the nicely-sized manicured front lawn. Through the welcoming red front door, step inside to admire the beautiful original hardwood floors that lead you into a cozy main living space with a wood burning gas-starter fireplace. Adorned with several newer windows, crown molding, and natural woodwork, this living area extends into a sunroom (perfect for your home office!) and flows into the kitchen by way of a formal dining room. From the kitchen, a hallway with pantry leads you to a powder room and outside to a sizable deck with views of the wooded backyard and access to the detached 2-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms and the updated full bath with a tub/shower combo. The full basement provides ample storage space and laundry. Walking distance to parks, schools, Wallhaven, and Highland Square. Now is your chance to make this gem your own!
