DRASTIC PRICE REDUCTION TO GET THIS HOUSE SOLD!!!! NEEDS WORK SO SELLER HAS GIVEN MAJOR PRICE CONCESSION TO REFLECT IT. Spacious gambrel colonial in a very nice quiet neighborhood touching the Melrose line. Home has been freshened up with newly finished floors, repainted throughout inside and new stainless steel appliances. Still needs more updates but this home could be worth substantially more when completely done. Home is forward on the 9600 square foot lot so there is a very large level rear yard. Located within a 5 minute walk to the Melrose Highlands train station to Boston.
