About This Home

As of October 2020

A true gem in the North End of Bridgeport. 55 Melbourne is a lovely ranch that features a spacious foyer that flows into a sunken living room with tall ceilings and a cozy fireplace, complimented with a freshly repainted interior. There are hardwood floors in most of the home to give it a warm, clean feel. The large three bedrooms provide plenty of space with sizable closets to give off an incredibly comfortable and relaxing feel while all conveniently located close to the full bath. The kitchen has access to the backyard with lots of natural light to make it functional and bright! A distinctive feature is the inviting fully finished basement with it's own separate entrance. More incredible features include a private backyard with a large deck and flat lawn, a garden, and a shed to make this home truly unique. The spectacular home features don't stop there as this property also has a very rare detached two-car garage at the end of a substantial driveway! New roof in 2016! Don't let this one get away!
