In the heart of Russell Park—an enclave so warm and convivial it’s locally revered for throwing Melrose’s best block party—sits 3 Bartlett Street, a Victorian that wears its history with quiet pride. Built in the 19th century and spanning nearly 2,700 square feet, the home offers a study in elegance: soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, ornate ceiling medallions, and a stately hearth that feels plucked from a Henry James novel. This is not the kind of charm that can be replicated—it’s the kind that’s been preserved. Set on a gracious corner lot, the home includes a private spa, inviting modern reprieve from its antique soul.
