Quaint antique home located at the end of a dead end street. This home has a lot of charming details like the beamed ceilings in the kitchen and beautiful staircase which is wider. A small closet has the half bath which is located by the dining area...
in the kitchen There's a room on the first floor that would work great as an office space. 3 bedrooms on the second. Full bath has a claw foot tub as well as a shower stall. The street is tight but the garage for this home is set back and has a couple parking spaces along with a couple in front of the home. Beautiful porch on front of home but home sits sideways on the property.

Oakdale, located between Dedham Square and the West Roxbury line, is a residential and commuter-friendly Dedham neighborhood with tree-lined side streets and a rail-adjacent rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Oakdale MBTA stop on Oakdale Avenue, where morning foot traffic meets a quiet, porch-lit streetscape. Housing leans toward early- to mid-20th-century Colonials and Capes, with tidy yards and mature maples framing the blocks. The Charles River corridor and nearby parkland shape the local geography with shaded paths and open fields. A short drive from the neighborhood, Dedham Square’s independent storefronts set the cultural tone, anchored by Dedham Community Theatre and the Dedham Historical Society & Museum. Legacy retail at Dedham Mall adds another layer of everyday convenience without changing Oakdale’s calm cadence.
