Property Description

Why is this home still available? WE HAVE NO CLUE! It's a fantastic value within the Melrose market and this is the time to step up and take advantage of other buyers being slow to the draw. This is a move-in-ready single-family home offering 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 property sits on a corner lot with southern exposure and includes 3 bedrooms with generous closets, and 2.5 baths (UNREAL). Inside, the living area is designed for both comfort and function. Situated ideally 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 the Melrose lifestyle, from vibrant downtown to abundant outdoor recreation, all in a home that's as practical as it is inviting.
