Mid-Century Marvel

110 Ellis Farm Lane Melrose

Do you or someone you know have an appreciation for mid-century modern houses?  If you do there’s one you must see this weekend.  If you like – or love – this style of architecture you just may be tempted to make this house your own – even if you’re not planning a move.

When mid-century modern houses pop up on the MLS hotsheet I try to get out and take a look.  I’ve toured houses in Belmont, Lexington, Arlington, Lincoln, Concord and Cambridge.  Yesterday I headed to Melrose after this mid-century stunner caught my eye online.  Of all the houses from this period that I’ve toured it’s difficult to remember a house as fine.

110 Ellis Farm Lane in Melrose is spectacular.  Architect designed and built in 1960 it’s had just own owner.  Very little has been changed – you’ll love the fireplace, the fixtures, the hardware and cabinetry.

The house is anything  but ordinary.  It appears to float in the air – with much of the house supported by steel beams atop concrete piers with no foundation below.  The wall of glass in the living room looks out over woods and there’s a big deck and a screened porch.

Listed by the Linda and Alison team from ReMax in Melrose, 110 Ellis Farm Lane is open on Saturday, Sept 28, 2013 from 11;30 to 1 pm and on Sunday, Sept 29, 2013 from noon to 1:30.
