The home has been thoughtfully updated for modern efficiency and peace of mind, featuring upgraded siding and high-quality windows that perfectly frame the coastal light. Sustainability meets savings with a fully owned solar panel system, ensuring an eco-friendly footprint and reduced energy costs for years to come. Adding incredible value is the oversized, two-story detached garage—a versatile space brimming with potential. Whether you envision a private home office and studio, this structure provides the perfect canvas to expand your living requirements. Plenty of parking too !
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: 778 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,556 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 9,800 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
