About this home
Don’t miss your opportunity with this standout double lot in a prime Melrose neighborhood! This property presents a compelling value add opportunity for developers and investors. The generous land footprint supports horizontal or vertical expansion, including potential conversion to a Two-Family layout (GIS Map in Documents, buyer to verify local zoning and permitting). Currently a single-family home features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1 half bath, hard wood floors throughout, and new roof & first floor windows installed two years ago. This property offers exceptional convenience—just moments from Oak Grove Station and the commuter rail, providing easy access to Boston and surrounding communities. The home sits only one block from Pine Banks Park, a major neighborhood amenity highlighted in local listings for its recreation space and proximity to shops and restaurants.

Oak Grove-Pine Banks, located between the Oak Grove MBTA station area and Pine Banks Park, is a residential and park-adjacent Melrose neighborhood with wooded edges and a commuter-rail rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Oak Grove station entrance on Washington Street, where morning foot traffic meets small storefronts and a steady transit pulse. Side streets feature early-20th-century single-family homes and compact multifamilies, with porches, bay windows, and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Pine Banks Park adds playing fields and broad lawns that frame daily routines. The Northern Strand Community Trail links the area to longer walks and bike rides. A short hop south, the Melrose Highlands district adds local staples like Turner's Seafood and the Beebe Estate’s cultural programming.
