Welcome to an adorable Melrose home in a fantastic location. A hop, skip and jump to the Hoover School, with the Melrose Common just down the street! This meticulously maintained 3 bed, 1.5 bath is a quintessential east side Melrose home. Complete with a lush back yard, a small deck for sipping your morning coffee & a nice patio for family BBQs. The home has been well cared for by the same owners for many years. Park your car in the garage and enter the foyer that extends to a formal living room with a working fireplace. Around the corner find a very functional dining room & kitchen. Then, discover the large edition used as a family room with access to the deck, leading to the backyard along with a half bath. Upstairs are 3 generously sided bedrooms currently used as two bedrooms & the owner's painting studio. The partially finished lower level features a wonderful bonus area, home office, teen hang out or playroom. Don't miss this beautiful Melrose gem!
