This classic 1910 Colonial radiates warmth from the moment you step onto the front porch, offering a sun-filled, traditional layout designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining. The main level showcases hardwood floors through the generous living and formal dining rooms, anchored by an oversized eat-in kitchen with natural wood cabinetry, gas cooking, and a walk-in pantry primed for conversion to a main-floor bath or laundry. From the dining room, sliders lead out to an expansive back deck overlooking a deep, level backyard with mature perennial plantings and a storage shed. Upstairs features high ceilings, three bright bedrooms with ample closet space, a cheerful vintage-pink tiled bath, and central air conditioning paired with forced-air heat. Additional living space awaits in the partially finished lower level, which offers electric heat, great ceiling height, dedicated laundry, and abundant storage ready for a home office, gym, or family room. Complete with parking for four-plus cars, this home is just one block from Nipper Maher Park and minutes from two commuter rail stations, Brandeis University, Boston Children's, Route 128/95, and the Mass Pike.
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: 784 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,568 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 5,802 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
