Spacious, warm & inviting, this lovely Colonial is set upon an elevated knoll overlooking a perfectly manicured yard in the front with the party (or relaxation) happening in the back. The curved front drive delivers you to the front door of this meticulously maintained and much loved home that has received many improvements and upgrades over the years. The first floor offers a floor plan that allows for an easy flow between kitchen, dining & living room that is large enough to create 2 separate spaces; one with a gas fireplace (that opens onto a spacious deck I’ll share more about later). The kitchen has granite counter tops, lots of cabinet space, stainless appliances & an island with the stove top range and large vent hood. There is seating at the island or in the adjoining dining room that makes mealtime convenient, and entertaining a breeze. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms with the primary offering a walk-in closet and private bath. The other 2 bedrooms were recently newly carpeted. There are 3 bonus spaces in the partially finished basement including a quiet office. Now to the rear; enjoy over approx. 500 sq ft of new Trex decking overlooking the fenced back yard and pool. A paver stone patio provides even more space to spread out while enjoying the yard. The list of additional improvements is long and includes a recently seal coated driveway, Trex front porch, LVP flooring throughout the first floor and primary suite, new gutters with leaf filters and a handy barn/storage shed. No Open House scheduled but Showings Begin Immediately!
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,184 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 43,560 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
