The rebirth of the former Coast Guard housing project along Pine Hill Road has begun as residents begin to occupy the long-vacant homes. Responding to the plan in a Request for Proposals by the Town of Bedford, TR Advisors of Boston purchased the property in April of 2017 and immediately began the first phase of the project, the renovation of twelve of the existing homes. Renovations included new kitchens, granite countertops, flooring, appliances, updated bathrooms, and have been freshly painted. Some units have had an additional bathroom and central HVAC added. The first residents moved in during the month of January and include a mix of ownership and rental units.
Consistent with the Town’s desire for additional moderately priced single-family houses, Phase Two of the project proposes the new construction of 17 “cottage style” homes. The proposed homes range from 1,200 to 1,400 SF with the option to have a one, two or three bedroom floorplan. All homes will have a master bedroom on the first floor and will feature design elements to accommodate both seniors and those living with disability issues. The proposed project will also provide four deed-restricted affordable for sale housing units. Once completed, Bedford’s newest “pocket community” will fulfill the vision put forward in the Town’s 2014 charrette. The plans for Pine Hill Crossing will develop further in conjunction with the Town’s Planning Board and community discussion.
