Rare opportunity!! This versatile 2,007 sq. ft. Colonial is set on a level half-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyle. The home features two levels of living space, each with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The second-floor unit is a legal in-law apartment that may be rented to non-blood-related occupants, creating an ideal opportunity for extended family, multi-generational living, guests, or potential rental income. Thoughtfully updated throughout with all-new hardwood floors, trim, doors, custom closets, and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, along with two new water heaters, separate heating and A/C zones, energy-efficient windows, and so much more. Exterior improvements include a newer roof (2015), new gutters, new decks, and a new garage door. The oversized driveway accommodates 11+ cars while an additional 242 sq. ft. front-to-back bonus room in the basement (not included in GLA) just needs flooring to complete the space. Also included in the sale is an additional 6,280 sq. ft. lot with frontage on both Alma Road and Phyllis Avenue, offering even more possibilities for the new owner. Conveniently located near shopping, schools, restaurants, and everyday amenities, this unique property offers space, flexibility, income potential, and additional land—all in one exceptional opportunity!
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 2,007 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 26,296 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.
