Our Take

31 Melrose Avenue in Trumbull combines Cape Cod character with updated interior features. A stone facade and white picket fence frame the approach, while oak floors, new doors, and lighting continue inside. The kitchen includes a center island and breakfast bar beside the dining area, and a stone fireplace anchors the living room. The layout includes a main-level bedroom, two dormered bedrooms upstairs, and a finished lower level with laundry and storage. A mudroom connects the kitchen and garage and opens to the backyard, where a level lawn, patio, and stone steps create outdoor space.
