Welcome to the red-hot Melrose market! Walking into this SE Colonial, you immediately feel at home.The 1st level features a fireplaced living room with hardwood floors and crown molding as well as a spacious formal dining room with chair rail and an updated kitchen with new ceramic tile plank flooring, granite counters, glass subway tile, ss appliances and recessed lighting. Just off the kitchen is a rebuilt porch with steps to a private backyard retreat - plenty of space for barbecuing, gardening or relaxing. The 2nd level offers a full bath and 3 bedrooms - the 3rd bedroom was converted into a walk-in closet by the previous owners but could easily be changed back; it would make an ideal nursery or home office.

Wonderful location, within walking distance to the highly desirable HORACE MANN Elementary School, Main St. bus stop, Melrose Highlands Commuter Rail stop, Whole Foods, and the trendy downtown shops & restaurants.
