Single-family home on a quiet dead-end street in Allston, set beside a neighborhood playground and minutes from Harvard, Cambridge, Boston University and the Longwood Medical Area. Architectural plans for a two-family conversion have been drawn and are available to a buyer. The property is zoned R1 and no zoning relief has been applied for or granted; any two-family use would require approval from the City of Boston. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitting and feasibility. Private driveway parking. Walk to Trader Joe's, restaurants and cafes, with quick access to the Mass Pike, Storrow Drive and public transportation into downtown Boston. A rare opportunity in one of Boston's most in-demand neighborhoods.

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: 760 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,520 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 4,075 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.
