Fantastic condo alternative! Stop scrolling, don't let 974 square feet fool you. Single-level living done right. This isn't a compromise—it's a masterclass in living smart. This small but mighty ranch defies its footprint with three bedrooms, two full baths, and zero wasted space. A 2023 renovation that touches every inch. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a kitchen built for real cooking and engineered for maximum counter space and storage. The primary bedroom rivals homes twice its size with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Open floor plan, wood floors throughout, HERS rated, updated HVAC including central air and a new sewer line are just a few of the major improvements. Private, flat backyard ready for entertaining. Dedicated parking. Storage shed. Move-in ready. But here's the real magic: location. Less than half a mile to the Oak Grove T stop means Boston is yours whenever you want it. Yet you're steps from the Fells Reservation—trails, greenery, peace, and quiet escape whenever you need it. Downtown Melrose's vibrant shops and restaurants are right there too. Urban access meets suburban serenity in one rare package. All the heavy lifting is done. Every system is new. Every surface is upgraded. Nothing to fix, nothing to worry about for years. Spend your weekends living in this A+ location, not laboring on home projects. This home lets you actually enjoy life instead of maintaining it. No open houses, schedule your private showing before this one disappears. Offers due Tuesday, September 22nd at 12:00 PM. This is a single family, no condo fee. Also listing in MLS as a single family # 73578630

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
