Built

2012

Off the street, sitting in the woods on over two acres, which abutsconservation land. The house was built in 2012. The owner engineered and designed the house to be energy efficient. With 12 inches of insulation in the celling's and 6 inches in the walls and floors. The entire house has double insulated windows, which tilt in for easy cleaning. The house has an oil fired forced hot air heating system, withcentral air conditioning. Solid oak floors, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. Solid oak kitchen and bath cabinets upgraded stainless-steel appliances. The cellar, with 8-foot ceilings has a walkout with double French doors and 2 full size windows. The double oversized garage is under the house and has a walkout door plus two oversized windows.Now here is the best part. The owners are retired and spend the winters at their home in Florida. The house is only occupied for 5 months in the summer. For 7 months the owners are living in Florida. The house looks and feels brand new. Finding a house like this is a rare opportunity.

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: 755 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,510 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 90,174 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.
