Build a 4000 sq/ft home plus 2-car garage. Foundation must fall within the lines designated by the Conservation Commission order of conditions. The house rendering is being used with permission of the designer & loosely reflects the shape and scope of what can be built. (The house to be built can be even bigger than shown.)

Mount Hood, located between Melrose Highlands and the Middlesex Fells Reservation, is a residential and wooded Melrose neighborhood with hillside streets and trailhead edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mount Hood Golf Course clubhouse area, where fairways, walkers, and weekend tee times set the tempo. Mount Hood Golf Course and the adjacent Middlesex Fells trail network act as daily landmarks for outdoor routines. Housing reads as classic New England—porches, gables, and tidy yards—stepping up and down the terrain. Side streets feel quiet, while the greenbelt geography keeps nature close at hand.
