A right-size home in a desirable, tree-lined Melrose neighborhood can feel like finding a unicorn! Whether you're looking to downsize to easy, one level living or you're a first time buyer searching for that special place to call your own, this charming Bungalow is just what you have been waiting for. You'll love the convenience of one-floor living, plus the option to expand your living space in the heated, semi-finished lower level, which is already plumbed for a half bath. Imagine curling up with a favorite book on the expansive front porch or hosting fun lawn games in the large yard. Inside, the eat-in kitchen comes equipped with a gas stove, stainless appliances, and tile flooring. The living room is large and open and can easily accommodate a dining area for more formal entertaining. Two right-size bedrooms and a bath with walk-in shower complete the interior. A detached one-car garage provides a safe, dry space for your car and extra storage. You can stay cool in the summer with the CENTRAL AIR conditioning, while the GENERAC GENERATOR offers total peace of mind when winter storms roll in. This sweet home will not last long so schedule a viewing soon.
