Welcome to 42 Melbourne Rd, a meticulously maintained, one-owner home offering a rare amount of land for Worcester. Situated at the end of a private dead-end road on over 2.5 acres, approximately one acre is cleared and fenced, while the backyard abuts the woods for added privacy. Located in Quinsigamond Village, a historic Worcester neighborhood, the home offers convenient access to nearby dining, shopping and public transportation, including a nearby bus route. Commuters will appreciate easy access to Route 146, I-395, I-290 and the Mass Pike. This 4-bedroom home reflects years of careful ownership, with many major updates already completed, including central A/C and roof in 2015, an updated kitchen in 2019, a new forced-air heating system in 2020, and a new above-ground pool in 2025. Three levels of decking connect the home to the pool and expansive fenced yard, creating a fantastic outdoor setting for entertaining and relaxing. Privacy, acreage and convenience are a combination that is hard to find in Worcester.
