INVESTMENT OR SWEAT EQUITY OPPORTUNITY - Classic New England Colonial on Route 139 is ready for updating / restoration. Convenient location less than half a mile from Holbrook Square and less than a mile from the Holbrook/Randolph Commuter Rail station. Surprisingly spacious inside, with three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a large eat-in-kitchen, dining room, living room in front, sun room with semi-cathedral ceiling and skylights off the back, and first-floor laundry. Outside, the fenced yard boasts multiple mature trees for shade. The oil tank and water heater are newer (less than 2 years old per seller), but this home will need work and is priced accordingly. Similar homes in top condition in Holbrook have sold for over $600,000 this year. May not qualify for FHA or VA financing. All appliances included. Take a look, crunch the numbers, and make your best offer.
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: 744 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,487 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 11,700 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
