The location is as picturesque as it is convenient. Superbly located in the Golden Hills area of Saugus, originally built as a cottage community for vacationers just 12 miles from Boston. Single level living in this well maintained ranch with a fresh neutral paint palette throughout. Two bedrooms, dedicated laundry room and hardworking kitchen offer an excellent condo alternative or first time home owner opportunity. Maintenance free vinyl siding, central air, off-street parking and a private back yard. Build instant equity with a few cosmetic updates and this could be the best investment you'll ever make! Spend time getting your hands dirty, the oversized shed and generous yard will satisfy even the most avid gardener. Enjoy summer evenings canoeing or fishing in nearby Griswald pond. Take in the changing foliage while enjoying the plentiful bird watching. All within close proximity to major routes, and the conveniences of both downtown Melrose and Saugus’ thriving business areas.
