Tucked away on a picturesque 1-acre lot, this charming Cape Cod offers the perfect blend of open yard space and peaceful wooded privacy-all within walking distance to Melrose Elementary School. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the care and thoughtful updates the current owners have poured into this move-in ready home. The completely remodeled second floor is a true highlight, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a versatile play/rec room that could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, a welcoming loft area, and a beautifully updated full bath. The main level offers comfortable, everyday living with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a large living room filled with natural light, and an inviting eat-in kitchen complete with gorgeous cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and updated appliances. The full unfinished lower level provides laundry space and abundant storage, with plenty of potential for future finishing if desired. A one-car attached garage adds convenience, while the outdoor setting truly sets this property apart-expansive yard space for entertaining, play, or gardening, plus a serene wooded backdrop that offers exceptional privacy. This is the kind of property that feels like home the moment you pull in the driveway-beautifully updated, thoughtfully maintained, and ready for its next chapter.
