With its welcoming front porch, steeply pitched roof, decorative gingerbread trim, and storybook façade, this charming New England cottage feels as though it belongs in the pages of a fairy tale. Tucked along a quiet street in the heart of Wayland, 8 East Road offers a rare sense of warmth, character, and simplicity, all just a short stroll from the town library and village center. Inside, sunlight, hardwood floors, and charming architectural details create inviting spaces that feel instantly like home. The flexible three-bedroom, two-bath layout includes a first-floor bedroom equally well suited as a private home office, while the cozy kitchen offers an opportunity to make the space your own. Outside, mature plantings and a lovely yard create a peaceful setting for morning coffee, gardening, play, or evenings with friends. With a two-car detached garage and an exceptionally convenient location close to schools, shops, trails, and commuter routes, this is a home with both character and connection. Charming, unexpected, and wonderfully inviting, 8 East Road is the kind of home you don’t simply see. You feel it.

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: 823 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,645 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 23,454 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
