53 Melrose St

Melrose Towers is a mid-century, single-story-footprint condominium complex built in 1961 and organized around stacked residential blocks with elevator access to upper levels. Units are predominantly two-bedroom floorplans with open living/dining layouts, enclosed balconies or sun rooms, and features like sliders, laundry chutes, and interior storage. Interiors range from recently updated kitchens and hardwood or laminate floors to original-period finishes; some residences include deeded garage and outdoor parking. The property’s grounds are developed with professional landscaping, patios and decks, tennis courts and both indoor and outdoor pools, plus a solarium, sauna/steam room and basement storage. Common systems include central internet availability and building elevators; on-site services are managed by an association with evidence of ongoing capital projects and reserves. The site sits in central Melrose within short walks of Whole Foods, cafés, commuter rail and multiple bus lines, offering a suburban-urban blend of neighborhood retail, transit access and pond and city skyline views from upper units.
