This charming and affordable home in Dedham, MA, offers a peaceful backyard, two driveways, and a garage. The home features an open floor plan with a spacious living room, kitchen, and an upstairs loft that was previously used as a third bedroom and/or storage space.

Located in a highly desirable area, the home is surrounded by properties valued in the millions, offering an exceptional opportunity to own in a sought-after neighborhood. For those looking to expand, the seller is also offering rough plans for a potential addition that could transform the home into approximately 3,200 square feet.

You’ll still have a wonderful move-in-ready property at an attractive price, with plenty of character and potential. This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss! Schedule your private tour today.
Ashcroft, located between the Charles River and Dedham Square, is a residential and historic Dedham neighborhood with tree-lined streets and river-edge green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Dedham Square crossroads of High Street and Court Street, where independent storefronts, cafés, and civic buildings set a steady, walkable rhythm. Queenstown Public House, Dedham Community Theatre, and the Dedham Historical Society & Museum act as familiar cultural touchstones. Housing leans toward classic New England forms—Colonial-era silhouettes, Victorian details, and well-kept multifamily homes—set on compact blocks. River paths and pocket parks shape daily routines, while commuter rail service at Endicott Station adds a practical link outward.
