Rare Melrose Two-Family property in a prime downtown location close to Melrose Center, the commuter rail, 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. The garage has direct entry into the basement with ample driveway parking. A large and private back yard with mature plantings, flowering plants and patio create an oasis surrounded by greenery and yet you are minutes from downtown. 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. Are you a savvy buyer and ready to put your signature on this solid property?
