This is a Bungalow style home built in 1925 situated on a hill at the end of a cul-de sac. This home is need of total renovation/rehab. It is in poor condition throughout. The kitchen is very dated and in poor condition as is the bathroom. All the...
rooms need repair and re painting. The exterior of the home shows signs of rot and water damage and the roof appears old. The oil fired boiler appears very old and seems to be leaking oil in the basement. This is really only a home for a developer to renovate or tear down and rebuild.

Upper Highlands, located between Malden Center and the Middlesex Fells Reservation, is a residential and hillside Malden neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and broad, tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Salem Street and Lebanon Street crossroads, where corner markets, takeout counters, and everyday storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. The Forestdale Cemetery grounds add a quiet, historic edge to the area’s slopes. Pine Banks Park frames the neighborhood with ballfields and walking loops, while nearby trailheads pull the landscape toward the Fells. Housing reads as early-20th-century wood-frame homes and multifamily buildings, with porches and small yards shaping the streetscape. Malden Center’s arts-and-dining scene sits downhill, anchored by community staples such as Faces Brewing Co., Idle Hands Craft Ales, and the Malden Public Library.
