West End gem on the highly coveted East Boarder Road! This lovely three bedroom, one bath Cape has just been beautifully refreshed & truly has the feeling of being a whimsical cottage retreat in the woods! Surrounded by greenery & multi-tiered decks sits this one-of-a kind-home! The first floor consists of one spacious bedroom, an adorable living room with wood burning stove, an eat-in kitchen with laundry & full bath, and a very unique bonus room otherwise noted as the "Rock Room" which currently serves as a dining room. You will love the new light vinyl flooring & new paint throughout the first floor. Two well-sized bedrooms with high ceilings complete the second floor! Lead compliance certificate, 2016 roof, some new vinyl siding, & newly painted decks complete this home. Idyllic location; close distance to Oak Grove Station, Malden Station, & the bustling downtown Malden Center. Short walking distance to hiking & biking trails & Fells Reservation & close to Medford and Melrose!
