Upgrade from apartment living! Live in a standalone house in the heart of Melrose! Set back on a level 7,005 sq. ft. corner lot, this picturesque colonial is just steps from the historic downtown area (0.2 miles), AND the Commuter Rail, with a walkability score of 85 (very walkable!) as well as being on the MBTA bus line. Great privacy and a huge yard! Many updates have been made including new gas heating system, fully fenced yard and outdoor patio. Also features newer windows and insulation, recessed lighting, first floor laundry, and off-street parking for 2-3 cars.
