About this home
Stop scrolling, don't let 974 square feet fool you. Single-level living done right. This isn't a compromise, it's a masterclass in living smart. This small but mighty ranch defies its footprint with three bedrooms, two full baths, and zero wasted space. A 2023 renovation that touches every inch. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a kitchen built for real cooking and engineered for maximum counter space and storage. The primary bedroom rivals homes twice its size with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Open floor plan, wood floors throughout, HERS rated, updated HVAC including central air and a new sewer line are just a few of the major improvements. Private, flat backyard ready for entertaining. Dedicated parking. Storage shed. Move-in ready. But here's the real magic: location. Less than half a mile to the Oak Grove T stop means Boston is yours whenever you want it. Yet you're steps from the Fells Reservation, trails, greenery, peace, and quiet escape whenever you need it. Downtown Melrose's vibrant shops and restaurants are right there too. Urban access meets suburban serenity in one rare package. All the heavy lifting is done. Every system is new. Every surface is upgraded. Nothing to fix, nothing to worry about for years. Spend your weekends living in this A+ location, not laboring on home projects. This home lets you actually enjoy life instead of maintaining it. No open houses, schedule your private showing before this one disappears.
