Perched on an oversized lot on Metropolitan Ave, this 1910 four-bedroom home carries the kind of presence that only comes with age. A welcoming entryway and graceful staircase set the tone from the moment you arrive, with wood floors running throughout and natural light that moves through the rooms over the course of the day. The formal dining room anchors the main level with enough space for everyone at a long table. A windowed sun porch offers a sheltered retreat through three seasons, whether that means morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The rear addition adds a full bath and flexible living space that works as a family room, media room, guest or multigenerational suite, with direct access from the back entry. Outside, a large patio opens to a generous backyard with room to grill, garden, and gather. A detached garage and a driveway with space for multiple cars round out the lot. Close to Washington Street and public transit options!
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: 875 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,750 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 6,300 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
