Our Take
The three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home at 99 Melville Avenue is a 1902 Tunxis Hill farmhouse on a 0.29-acre lot. Its early-1900s railroad-style layout includes ample rooms for play, work, and gathering, along with warm wood floors, built-ins, two sets of stairs, and a newly renovated kitchen. An original wraparound porch adds architectural detail. The partially finished walk-out lower level leads to a two-tiered garden with play space; the property also includes a garage foundation and off-street parking.
