Why is this home still available? WE HAVE NO CLUE! It’s a fantastic value within the Melrose market and this is the time to step up and take advantage of other buyers being slow to the draw. This is a move-in-ready single-family home offering an exceptional value—priced nearly 30% under the year-to-date average of the Melrose market. With 1,900+ sq ft of living space, the property sits on a corner lot with southern exposure and includes 3 bedrooms with generous closets, and 2.5 baths (UNREAL). Inside, the living area is designed for both comfort and function. Situated ideally for commuters—just 1.5 miles to Oak Grove (Orange Line) and under a mile to the Wyoming Hill commuter rail. A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of the Melrose lifestyle, from vibrant downtown to abundant outdoor recreation, all in a home that’s as practical as it is inviting.
