About 15 Desmond Rd

15 Desmond Road stands proudly in Malden’s Upper Highlands, a Dutch Colonial Revival with the quiet confidence of a home that’s seen the years and only grown more beautiful. Thoughtfully renovated, it balances classic charm with modern ease—an inviting kitchen with white cabinets, granite counters, and sleek stainless steel flows effortlessly into a warm dining area, ready for both lively dinners and quiet mornings. Sunlight pours into the living room, and the enclosed three-season porch offers a cheerful, flexible space. Upstairs, five hardwood-floored bedrooms await—ideal for restful nights, bustling mornings, creative pursuits or a future suite. A newer roof, furnace, and AC system provide peace of mind, while the private backyard reveals a rare gift: sweeping Boston skyline views, a daily reminder of the city’s energy from the comfort of your own retreat. Near Malden Center, Oak Grove, Fellsmere Park, and the Fells—here, city and serenity meet, and this is exactly where you belong
