About this home

Situated at 28 Heathcote St in Boston, Massachusetts, this single-family residence represents a timeless architectural achievement from 1935 with extensive reconstruction in 2021. This lovely colonial in Boston’s Roslindale section is distinguished by its cheerful yellow exterior, classic New England charm, mature flora, and southeast-facing corner location. 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 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, front to back. The roof, solar panels, 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, while the gated driveway off Hawthorne Street and detached one-car garage offer the welcome convenience of private, off-street parking. The full, unfinished walkout basement provides storage or bonus space. Nestled among well-maintained homes 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. Outdoor lovers will appreciate nearby Fallon Field, Healy Playground, and the Arnold Arboretum. Commuters will value a myriad of bus lines, and the MBTA Roslindale Village Station, about 0.7 miles or a 15 minute walk, puts South Station just 4 stops away. 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 Boston residence firsthand. Please note: The dining room is currently used as a bedroom. The photo representing the dining room is virtually staged, as some 2nd floor bedroom photos have been virtually emptied. Pedestrians, vehicles and some homes may have been blurred to protect neighbors' privacy. See Seller's property disclosure for re-build details.
