    What's special

    This traditional-style, three bedroom cape presents a fantastic opportunity to live in the desirable Horace Mann neighborhood of Melrose! Sun pours through the windows in the living and dining rooms at the front of the house, and the dining room opens into the kitchen with well-maintained wood cabinets. A bedroom on the first level could serve as an at-home office or den and overlooks the wooded backyard. A half bath with potential space to convert to a full bath rounds out the first floor. The second level features two bedrooms and full bathroom with tub and shower. A bonus family room in the basement with a second fireplace would be ideal for a cozy evening at home or a playroom out of the way of the main floor. Perfect for rainy days with groceries, the two-car driveway leads into the kitchen on the side of the house. Enjoy hardwood floors throughout. Easy access to major highways, public transportation, and downtown Melrose from this convenient location. Don't miss out!
