This inviting side entrance Colonial, nicely updated and maintained, showcases classic architectural detailing including quoined exterior corner boards, eight-over-eight windows, crown molding, hardwood floors, built-ins, and two fireplaces.  Some of the updates include a renovated half bath; refurbished kitchen with tile backsplash, granite counters, newer appliances, additional cabinetry and re-worked space; new furnace (2012); exterior paint (2011); and some electrical additions/upgrades.  The lower level is finished with a family room that has additional built-ins and the 2nd fireplace.  The walk-up attic provides great storage space, or maybe the possibility of expansion.  Located in the desirable Horace Mann neighborhood, it is convenient to so many of the amenities that vibrant Melrose offers - public transportation, shopping, and restaurants.
