About this home
NEW PRICE, NEW OPPORTUNITY! giving you room in the budget to make this 1925 Dutch Colonial your own. The big work is done: slate roof inspected and repaired in 2025, Mass Save insulation, French drain and oil tank removed. Inside, high ceilings and hardwood floors run through a flexible, light-filled layout. The living room pairs a coffered ceiling with a gas fireplace, the sun-drenched family room is wrapped in windows, and the dining room showcases original built-in china cabinets. A main-level office and updated 3/4 bath add everyday convenience, with three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The eat-in kitchen opens to a private patio and backyard. Bring your vision: fresh paint, refinished floors and a kitchen makeover with painted cabinets, granite counters and new appliances will make it shine, and the price now leaves room to do it. Garage under plus 2-car off-street parking, a rare find this close to Oak Grove (Orange Line), downtown Melrose and Sylvan Street Park. Ask for our renovation idea book showing what each room could become. Priced to move, so come see it this weekend!

What do these numbers mean?
DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.
School names link to available school or district websites.
