Welcome to this gloriously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home situated on a desirable corner lot in a quiet Abington neighborhood, featuring new siding and a new roof. The inviting front porch, complete with an awning that extends overhead for added shade and comfort, creates the perfect spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, you'll find an impeccably decorated kitchen featuring granite countertops, along with tastefully updated bathrooms and plenty of storage throughout. The finished basement offers additional living space and a full bath, providing flexibility for a family room, home office, guests or more. Outside is a spectacular setup ideal for entertaining. The furnished gazebo can be left open to enjoy cool breezes and peaceful views, or closed in during the colder months for a cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage. Gather around the fire pit area for cuddling up, roasting marshmallows or even an outdoor movie night, and enjoy the additional outdoor bar area when entertaining family and friends. Storage is no concern here, with a garage, carport and multiple sheds providing plenty of room for vehicles, tools, equipment and all the extras. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, commuter routes and area amenities, including the brand-new playground, this home offers comfortable living, impressive storage and indoor and outdoor spaces designed to be enjoyed year-round.

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: 636 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,272 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 6,914 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.
