Property Description

Welcome to Melrose, the perfect blend of Boston’s energy and suburban charm. Stroll the historic town center with its cafés, boutique shops, and timeless streetscapes, or explore the green spaces of Ell Pond, Pine Banks Park, and the Middlesex Fells Reservation. This move-in-ready single-family offers an exceptional value—priced nearly 30% under the year-to-date average of the Melrose market. With 1,900+ sq ft of living space, the home includes 3 bedrooms with generous closets, 2.5 baths (UNREAL), and is perched on a corner lot that takes advantage of the southern exposure. Inside, you’ll find living areas designed for both comfort and function. The location is ideal for commuters—just 1.5 miles to Oak Grove (Orange Line) and under a mile to the Wyoming Hill commuter rail. A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Melrose lifestyle, from vibrant downtown to abundant outdoor recreation, all in a home that’s as practical as it is inviting. SHOWINGS START 9/27 AND 9/28.
