Ideally situated in the highly desirable Dorset Circle neighborhood in Waban, this beautiful center-entrance Colonial-style residence is set on a level lot surrounded by mature plantings. A gracious foyer welcomes you into a front-to-back living room with a fireplace, which flows into a family room or sunroom framed by expansive windows overlooking the grounds. The oversized dining room is rich in character with original moldings and architectural detail. The updated eat-in kitchen features handsome stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, gas cooking, a delightful dining area with room for an expansive table, and views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. A mudroom and half bathroom complete this level. The second floor offers a spacious primary bedroom suite with a generous closet, a wall with a built-in wardrobe, and a bathroom. There are two additional large bedrooms and an exquisitely renovated hall bathroom on this level. Further enhancing this property are gleaming hardwood floors, a new roof, air conditioning, an attractive patio and hardscaping, and a detached two-car garage. This wonderful home is conveniently located near the Angier School, Waban Centre, the Green Line T, and major commuting routes.

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: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,172 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 9,890 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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
