Tucked along a quiet dead-end street in Malden's highly desirable West End, this light-filled Colonial blends timeless character, high ceilings and flexible living space. The enclosed porch opens to a spacious living room and formal dining room, while the eat-in kitchen provides generous storage. The mudroom is a bonus offering a landing spot for coats, shoes and backpacks. Upstairs are three bedrooms, and a flexible nook ideal for an office or playroom. Outside, the flat grassy yard is perfect for grilling, entertaining and play, along with a detached one-car garage. A new boiler and thoughtful updates to important systems and living spaces create a wonderful foundation for the next owner. Enjoy easy access to the Middlesex Fells for hiking, running or snowshoeing, while still being close to the MBTA Orange Line, coffee shops, restaurants and Malden and Melrose centers. Enjoy the rare combination of a true neighborhood feel, nearby recreation and easy city convenience.
