Simply lovely describes this sunny, freshly painted home with high ceilings and multiple windows with tree views and gleaming hardwood floors. As you approach the front yard, an abundance of perennial flowers and a maple tree greet you. The spacious living room offers period wood detail, a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and coffered ceilings. Off the living room is a sunroom and an adjacent dining room complete with china cabinet and wood panel wainscoting. The efficient kitchen has a newer cooktop and electric convection oven. There is a half bath off the kitchen. On the second floor, you will find a large primary bedroom with an adjacent space to be used as a home office or creative space. The second bedroom overlooks the large backyard. The third bedroom could be a separate nursery or guest room. The exterior was painted approximately 12 years ago, adding to the home’s well-maintained appeal. Set in Boston’s vibrant Roslindale, the home puts you close to Stony Brook, the Arnold Arboretum, local restaurants, coffee shops, and the commuter rail. This charming home offers both character and flexibility in a wonderfully connected Boston location.
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: 777 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,554 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 5,500 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
