149 East Foster Street

Classic 8 rm Colonial blending timeless charm w/modern updates! Ideally located on a tree-lined st w/sidewalks running between the Common Park & vibrant Melrose Square! HW fls & period details abound...love the LR w/fireplace, eat-in kit, full BA, open DR & in-home office...but REALLY LOVE the huge family rm addition w/vaulted ceiling, built-ins & great natural light! The spacious deck extends the living space in the nice weather & overlooks the large, flat, mostly fenced-in yard!! Upstairs the charm continues w/3 comfortable bdrms w/ample closet space, another full BA & walk up attic. Be home for the summer & start grilling on the deck & entertaining in this enviable backyard! Walk to the MBTA commuter rail, orange line bus, dinner, shopping & coffee in Melrose Square! Great basement expansion potential too (under the addition) & there's parking for 5 cars! This solid-well maintained home offers the best of both worlds...period charm & modern living in a prime Melrose location!
