This isn’t just another Cape—it’s the one. Tucked into one of Melrose’s most walkable neighborhoods, this home delivers the trifecta: classic New England character, practical modern living, and a true primary suite—all with standout curb appeal. Step inside and you’re home! The sun-drenched kitchen is perfect for entertaining, featuring a Thermador cooktop w/pot-filler & microwave & wall oven. The first floor flows beautifully from the kitchen to the dining room and into an oversized fireplaced living room. Off kitchen, a cozy screened-in porch begs for outdoor movie nights! Upstairs offers 3 generously sized bedrooms, full bath, storage closets & spacious primary suite with a large walk-in shower and ample storage. Need more? Mini splits for AC & a finished basement ideal for a home office, playroom, or den, an attached garage, 2 fireplaces, and a backyard made for relaxing and BBQs. All this in the Horace Mann neighborhood, a short walk to everything that makes Melrose so livable!
