There’s something easy and inviting about life at 27 Sycamore Road. Tucked into a quiet, established Melrose neighborhood on a loop-style street with minimal through traffic, this charming Cape offers the kind of setting that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Freshly painted throughout, the home feels bright, clean, and ready for its next chapter. Start your mornings with coffee in the sunny three-season porch, gather around the fireplace on cooler evenings, or spend warm afternoons relaxing and entertaining in the fenced backyard. Inside, hardwood floors and comfortable living spaces create a warm, welcoming feel, while three bedrooms and two full baths offer flexibility for everyday life. The partially finished basement provides even more room to spread out—perfect for a playroom, home office, gym, or casual hangout space. Set on a desirable corner lot, the property also offers potential for future expansion for buyers looking to grow into the home over time. And when you’re ready to head out, Mt. Hood, nearby parks, schools, highway access, and downtown Melrose are all within easy reach. It’s a home that combines neighborhood charm, everyday comfort, and a fantastic corner lot. A Melrose gem!
