Rare Melrose Two-Family property in a prime downtown location close to Melrose Center, the Cedar Park Commuter rail and the Orange Line, schools, shops and restaurants. Great opportunity to break into the Melrose market- live in one unit and rent the other or house your extended family. A classic entry leads you to two spacious apartments with five rooms each. Both apartments have 2 generous bedrooms. The first floor has a separate dining room. The upstairs kitchen is "eat-in." The upper unit has additional space on the top floor. Kitchens and baths are older but very functional. A direct-entry garage and ample driveway parking. A large, fully fenced and private back yard with mature plantings, flowering plants and patio create an oasis surrounded by greenery and yet you are minutes from downtown. Newer roof (2023). The updated gas-fired, high efficiency heat/hot water system is common to both units. This home is ready for its next chapter and will be delivered vacant.
