    Great Melrose location! Fantastic center entrance colonial charmer, well maintained and cared for by a single family for over 50 years.

First floor features a front to back fireplaced living room, formal dining room with built in china cabinet, an eat-in kitchen, half bath powder room, and a great big, light filled family room overlooking the back yard. The second floor features a spacious master bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Below grade is a large partially finished basement with loads of potential for additional finished living. Looking for more space? Take the entertaining outside and enjoy the large mahogany deck during the seasonal months.
