Finding a two family home this close to Melrose Center ,with all of its restaurants and shops, is like finding a needle in a haystack. Each unit boasts hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, modern kitchen and baths, and sun splashed living and dining rooms with built-in china cabinets. Front and back porches allow for a relaxing outdoor oasis and an unfinished walk up attic helps to get your creative juices flowing with the endless possibilities for that space. Move right in and reap the benefits of the previous owner who installed a new roof in 2013, all new windows in 2008, new heating systems in 2008, and exterior house painting in 2014. An ideal sized backyard for entertaining and detached garage for a car or storage makes this the best deal in Melrose. A rare find that truly won't last!
