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!

About Oak Grove-Pine

Banks

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.
