Property Description

PETS WELCOME! 70 Leonard Street, Unit 2, East Dedham. A three-bedroom upper condo in a 4-unit condo building, listed at just $379,000 — a price that is increasingly hard to find in Dedham, or anywhere inside 128 with this much finished space. East Dedham is the town’s eastern edge, on the Boston line. The streets are residential and tree-lined, with older multi-families and single homes. Route 1 and I-95/128 are a short drive. Readville Station on the Fairmount Line and the Needham Line stops in Dedham put South Station within reach for a commute. Dedham Square, Legacy Place, and the shops along Providence Highway cover daily errands. Public schools are Avery Elementary, Dedham Middle, and Dedham High. The unit is 968 square feet, all above grade, on the second level. Gleaming refinished hardwood runs through the living areas and bedrooms. Walls are freshly painted, trim and baseboards are white, and steam radiators and ceiling fans are in place. Gas steam heat. The full bath has a granite vanity, wood vanity cabinets, tile floor, and a tiled tub and shower, plus a linen closet. Closets have shelving. Laundry is in the unit — washer and dryer included — along with a range, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Two deeded off-street parking spaces. No garage. The monthly fee is $326 and covers hot water, water, sewer, master insurance, exterior maintenance, and snow removal. That is a meaningful offset against ownership costs on a 1920 building: the association handles the roof, siding, and winter clearing. Taxes are about $4,154 on a 2026 assessment of $337,700. The building has a porch and composite deck; the lot is landscaped with mature trees and a stone wall along the street. At roughly $392 a square foot, this is an entry price for Norfolk County housing with three bedrooms, in-unit laundry, and deeded parking. It works as a first home, a downsizing condo, or a hold for an owner-occupant or investor who wants Dedham schools and a Boston-adjacent address without a seven-figure purchase.
