About This Home

As of November 2023

Invest in a beautiful 2-family house in a fantastic location. This side-by-side set of townhomes is just off Main St and close to the MBTA Wyoming Hill Station with train service to Boston. Thompson Square, a little park next door with greenery and a pathway invite you around the corner to enjoy everything downtown Melrose has to offer starting with Dunkin’ Donuts across the street. This home has been well maintained by the same family for almost 70 yrs. Before that, it was owned by the mayor of Melrose. The home on the right was gut renovated down to the studs in 2014, and the other unit on the left had a long-term tenant who was a contractor that kept things up. The property features updated electricity with circuit breakers, new hot water tanks manufactured in 2019, and energy efficient forced-hot air heating systems. Each unit has independent gas and electric services for separate utilities as well as private parking and paved drives for each side. Welcome home to 16 and 18 Lynde.
