About this home
Situated at 28 Heathcote St in Boston's Roslindale neighborhood, this single-family colonial is distinguished by its cheerful exterior, southeast-facing corner location, classic New England charm, and 2021 rebuild. Originally a traditional Cape, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence underwent a remarkable transformation, emerging as a full two-story home that offers the character of an established neighborhood with the comfort and appeal of modern updates. Inside, you'll find a classic layout with full-height second-floor ceilings and nearly new solid oak flooring throughout. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer added flexibility and convenience, while two spacious second-floor bedrooms each extend the full length of the home. The roof, solar and heating system, all approximately five years old, offer added peace of mind and greater predictability in future homeownership costs. A freshly painted rear deck provides an inviting space for outdoor relaxation, and the driveway off Hawthorne Street and detached one-car garage offer the welcome convenience of off-street parking. The full, unfinished walkout basement provides storage or your future lower-level finished bonus space. Nestled in a walkable neighborhood, this property is just blocks from the vibrant heart of Roslindale Village. Explore its restaurants, shops, and beloved farmers market at Adams Park, and enjoy nearby Fallon Field, Healy Playground, and the Arnold Arboretum. Commuters will value the nearby MBTA Roslindale Village Station and a myriad of bus lines,. Blending classic New England character with modern improvements, convenient parking, and exceptional access to amenities and transportation, 28 Heathcote Street offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy Boston living. We invite you to schedule a private viewing or attend an Open House to experience this residence firsthand. Several rooms have been virtually staged. Pedestrians, vehicles and adjacent homes may have been blurred to protect neighbors' privacy. See Seller's property disclosure for re-build details.
