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

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
