Set along the shoreline of Houghs Neck, 20 Bay View Avenue is a distinctive coastal property with the space, character and flexibility to be enjoyed for generations. Nearly half an acre creates an unexpected sense of privacy and openness, with direct waterfront, sweeping views across the bay and the Boston skyline rising on the horizon. Life here naturally moves toward the water. Mornings begin on the porch overlooking the coastline, afternoons unfold between the garden, lawn and shoreline, and evenings bring ocean breezes and the lights of Boston across the bay. Inside, 3,557 SF lives well beyond its three bedrooms. Expansive windows draw the coastal setting into the home, while generous gathering spaces provide room for both everyday living and memorable weekends filled with family and friends. The main level brings together a fireplaced living room, spacious kitchen, gracious dining room and direct connection to the outdoors. Three bedrooms and three full baths include a generous primary suite with walk-in closet, private bath and its own balcony overlooking the water. Above, the crow’s nest provides one of the home’s most memorable spaces, an inspiring office, studio, reading room or quiet escape with views across the coastline. A finished walkout lower level adds another dimension for recreation, guests, fitness or media, complemented by oversized storage throughout. Outside, screened and open-air living spaces, an expansive side yard and established garden areas create endless possibilities for entertaining, gardening, pets and play. A separate Nantucket-inspired barn with electricity adds remarkable character and potential for a workshop or future ADU, subject to approvals. An attached two-car garage and ample parking bring practicality to the property, while Boston, its hospital systems, dining, culture and entertainment remain remarkably accessible. By land or by water, the city feels close, yet life at Bay View feels wonderfully removed from its pace. More than a waterfront home, this is the foundation for a true coastal compound, a place to gather, create traditions and return to for generations.
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 3,557 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 20,288 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.
