About This Home

As of March 2024

Incredible opportunity to put your personal touches on a three-bedroom center entrance colonial sitting on a tree-lined street in a prime Melrose location. 61 Tappan St. is a well laid-out home with large windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, a walk-up attic, a large level yard, and a detached two-car garage. Best of all, this home provides a suburban setting without the sacrifice of a short commute or a walkable lifestyle. Take a brief stroll to the Commuter Rail, parks, or the restaurants, taverns, and shops on Main Street in Downtown Melrose. You're a short distance from miles of hiking trails on the Middlesex Fells and the kayaking and boating on Spot Pond. As if that weren't enough, the location is also convenient to Interstate 93, the Orange line T stop at Oak Grove and Route 1. Make 61 Tappan St. your own and have a beautiful home in an unbeatable location. Showings by appointment only. Offers to be reviewed on 10/26/21 at Noon.
