    Welcome to 178 Melrose Ave! A lovely and well-maintained cape in Lower Alsace Township. The new vinyl siding gives it excellent curb appeal. This 3 Bedroom home opens up to a formal living and dining room area complete with original hardwood flooring. The lower level has 2 bedrooms and one bath, with the 3rd bedroom being upstairs. Several upgrades have been made to this home in just the past few years. The updated kitchen (21) leads to the rear deck and fenced in backyard. The roof was replaced in 2019. The front porch was recently rebuilt, to go along with new windows, doors, gutters, and downspouts. Dont miss out on a chance to make this home!
