Let those building and remodeling ideas start flowing, and soon your hammer can start swinging! Once you look past the present condition and start planning its transformation, the possibilities become much easier to envision. Currently a 1-bedroom ranch, this once much-loved home now unquestionably needs extensive repairs, remodeling and renovation, yet it offers a true blank canvas and the opportunity to give it an entirely new chapter. Located in a well-established neighborhood within a mile of Memorial Beach, this is an opportunity to give it the work it requires, personal flair you crave, and care it deserves; let's not overlook the potential for substantial long-term equity as well! The house and property is being sold completely “as-is,” and the seller will make no repairs. The property will not qualify for traditional FHA or VA loans, so cash or renovation/construction financing will be needed. The list agent must meet with the seller and seller representative in person to review offers according to their schedule, so no early offers will be accepted prior to the submission deadline of noon on Monday, September 14, with a 24-hour response time. The bright side? Buyers will have time to obtain repair and remodeling quotes, secure the appropriate financing if needed, and complete their own due diligence without feeling rushed! This property offers the chance to create something truly special in a fantastic neighborhood. Owners were well-liked according to neighbors, please try not to judge condition too harshly. Quick closing!

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: 320 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 640 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 10,000 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.
