Why this home stands out
What sets 103 Melvins End apart is the combination of generous square footage — 3,132 finished feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths — and an almost unbeatable position relative to Langley AFB. Very few homes this size sit this close to base while still backing up to quiet residential streets with parks practically at the doorstep. The 1994 build year puts it in a sweet spot: established construction with classic bones, yet not so old that major systems are ancient history.
