Great New England Colonial on a side street in the Wyoming area of Melrose! There is a lot to love about this home that’s been well-maintained by the same family since 1952. It’s move-in ready but flexible enough for you to bring your own ideas and taste. From the stained-glass foyer to the family room and everything in between, charm and functionality abound. The first floor has the perfect blend of open concept and functional spaces, with the oversized kitchen being the center piece. The kitchen opens to the dining room, family room, and foyer. Upstairs you will find 3 Bedrooms, one with skylights, and a large full bath. The heating system and hot water are only 3 years old, the roof was done in 2010. This beautiful home is also convenient so you can enjoy all that downtown Melrose has to offer and commute with ease. Being only two blocks from the Wyoming Hill MBTA Commuter Rail, the 131, 132, 137 Bus Routes, and 2 Miles to Oak Grove you can get to and from home quickly. See today.
