Tucked into one of Melrose’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this lovingly maintained Garrison-style home has been cherished by its owners for over 25 years. Inside, classic charm meets thoughtful updates with a welcoming living room, formal dining room, and a newly renovated kitchen. An enclosed porch offers a cozy retreat, complemented by a convenient half bath. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath provide restful living, while attic access adds valuable storage. The partially finished basement offers flexibility for work or play.
