Russell Park Victorian — huge upside in a prime Melrose spot. 3 beds + office | High ceilings | Right across from Middlesex Fells trails. Short walk to Oak Grove T, commuter rail, downtown Melrose and Lincoln Elementary School. Love weekend trail runs and quick city commutes? This place checks both. Classic Victorian vibes with an eat-in kitchen that opens to a deck and a big fenced yard—perfect for BBQs, pups, or hosting friends. It needs some updating, but the layout is flexible: the third floor could be a guest suite, media/playroom, or your dreamy primary. Steam boiler works but is considered 'end of life' and some bedrooms on 2nd floor do not have doors. Natural gas is in the house. If you're looking to build equity vs. buy equity and want a home to customize near transit, trails, and a lively downtown, bring a contractor and your Pinterest board. Big potential, great location.
