For anyone shopping in Roslindale, the promise here is simple: step out and you’re in the middle of it. This week’s featured home sits just minutes from Roslindale Square’s shops and restaurants. and it’s close enough to the MBTA’s Roslindale Village commuter rail stop that a commute can feel almost like a walk.
The property is 20 Tafthill Park, Unit 5, listed at $575,000. It’s a 727-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath Style Condo built in 2018 and set inside a 19-unit building with an elevator. The unit is on the second floor. south facing. and positioned in the front of the building—separating it sonically and physically from the commuter rail tracks behind the development.
Inside, there’s no interior foyer; when you enter, you’re already in the shared space of the kitchen and living area. The ceilings are 9 feet high, the floors are engineered hardwood, and the room is flooded with natural light from a pair of large casement-style windows with clear panes of glass.
Just to the left is the full bathroom. finished with tile flooring and a single brown vanity cabinet with a white quartz sink. A curtained shower/bath combination sits behind a white subway tile backsplash. The kitchen is on the right. with stainless steel appliances and Shaker-style cabinetry in a two-tone layout—upper cabinets in a white floating style and lower cabinets in walnut. A walnut-toned island topped by white quartz sits under pendant lights and serves as both a work surface and a dining spot for three.
The living area sits directly underneath the large casement windows, with recessed lighting and space currently set up with a couch, a plush chair, and an entertainment console. The living room faces the parking lot.
The two bedrooms are separated from the living area and each is behind solid wood doors. The primary bedroom keeps the 9-foot ceiling height and engineered hardwood flooring, with natural light coming through two double-hung windows. Its closet has double doors.
The second bedroom mirrors the larger one in window and flooring layout, but it comes with a real upgrade: a windowed door leading to a private 120-square-foot balcony that looks south.
Everyday logistics are handled in a laundry closet with stacked appliances, and the unit includes central air and a heat pump. There is also a garage space in the lower level of a stacked parking system. Despite the parking, there is no additional storage for the unit.
The complex does not have visitor parking, but it is adjacent to a city-owned lot.
Monthly costs add up to $358 in fees, which include water, sewer, insurance, security, road and structure maintenance, and ground maintenance. Property taxes are listed at $6,288 without a residential exemption.
Listing agent Judy Paradis of Compass has the listing. As of press time, a contingent offer has been accepted for this property.
Roslindale’s walking appeal is part of the pitch, too. This address connects easily with landmarks on Walk Boston’s 25-stop walking tour of Roslindale. including Florence Street with its Colonial Revival homes. Adams Park—a shelter of greenery in the heart of Roslindale Square—and even a stop tied to Mary Baker Eddy. the founder of Christian Science. whose home once stood in the neighborhood.
When 20 Tafthill Park, Unit 5, was built in 2018, it became part of that same story—only in a newer form, with bright light, compact efficiency, and the kind of balcony access many buyers look for once they start touring in person.
