Outstanding opportunity to buy in Melrose, steps to downtown & train, and turn-key! Great starter home, or for those looking to "rightsize" but don’t want a condo. Fantastic new kitchen with SS appliances, granite counter tops, new cabinetry, recessed lighting, and yes it opens up to the deck, just waiting for your inner Bobby Flay. Gorgeous maple floors through out. Two generous BRs, thoroughly refreshed full bath. Newer roof. Near shops, train, bus, restaurants & cafes. Superlative.
