About this home

Welcome to a cherished residence that has been meticulously cared for by the same family for 50+ years! Your experience begins as you enter through an expansive three-season porch, which leads through a set of glass doors into a formal dining room complete with a china cabinet. This space flows seamlessly into a sun drenched kitchen, featuring a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, a microwave, and modern recessed lighting. The inviting living room is anchored by a classic brick fireplace and offers a generous layout perfectly suited for entertaining guests. An office/family room is conveniently located nearby. The second level hosts three well proportioned bedrooms and a full bath. Throughout the home, hardwood floors add a sense of warmth and polished charm. For those seeking additional flex space, the lower level includes a roughly finished, unheated room that would serve as an ideal area for a home gym or a private hobby room. The exterior of the home features a one-car garage and a patio for relaxing. This home's location puts the very best of Melrose right at your doorstep:a short stroll will take you to the Commuter Rail, downtown dining and shopping and the Middlesex Fells Reservation provides hiking, biking and boating at The Spot Pond Boat Club. Stop by and see what makes 9 Cottage Street a special place to call home.
