    What's special

    This super cute 2-bedroom Ranch is perfect for someone looking to "right size" or makes for an ideal condo alternative for someone who wants garden and outdoor space and you almost can't beat the proximity to Main Street and transportation. This home has been thoroughly renovated: eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Gleaming hardwood floors shine in the living room, dining room and bedrooms. Plus you gain another room in the amazing screen porch, perfect for entertaining or on lazy days. Yard is ample enough for a patio and garden. Walking distance to EVERYTHING that Melrose has to offer: restaurants, YMCA, parks, commuter rail, and beloved Library. Did we mention the carport and NO condo fee? It's hard to find something in such good shape and in this price range. See if this sweet little cottage fits the bill for your lifestyle.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
