Commuters and lifestyle seekers alike will appreciate this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home in one of Melrose’s most convenient locations, just a short distance to Oak Grove Station, the commuter rail, and vibrant downtown shops, restaurants, and coffeehouses. The enclosed front porch is a favorite spot to begin the day with coffee or unwind in the evening while neighbors stroll by. Inside, the home offers a warm and comfortable feel with a layout that simply works for everyday living — not too big, not too small, just an easy and inviting flow that instantly feels like home. Thoughtful updates and careful maintenance throughout allow the next owner to move right in and enjoy. The backyard deck is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or summer dinners with friends.
