Warm and inviting, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath cape is on a quiet dead-end street in the Horace Mann district close to the Greenwood and Melrose Highlands commuter rail stops. Hardwood floors throughout the house, a fireplaced living room, and lots of light add so much charm. Outside there is a lovely fenced-in yard with both shade and sun, a garage, and plenty of off-street parking. The partially finished walk-out basement has a playroom/den on one side and a workshop on the other. A wonderfully cozy, efficient, and solid home.
