Welcome to 5 Amherst Road, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom Colonial set on a picturesque cul-de-sac street in one of Wilmington’s lovely established neighborhoods. Lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built, this 1,872 sq. ft. home offers 2.5 baths, a 2-car garage and an additional 936 sq. ft. of finished lower-level space, complete with a 3/4 bath and its very own “Glam Room.”At the heart of the home is a showstopper kitchen made for cooking, gathering and entertaining, while the inviting living spaces include a wood-burning fireplace for cozy New England evenings.Outside, nearly half an acre (.46 acres) creates a private backyard oasis with beautifully landscaped grounds, a large patio for outdoor entertaining, raised vegetable garden and a charming shed with electricity—perfect for storage, a workshop, or your own “she shed” or “he shed.” And yes...you'll even have your very own peach tree! Planted 25 years ago by the owners' godfather, it joins several other trees planted over the years to celebrate special family milestones.Tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood yet convenient to schools, shopping, dining, commuter rail, and major routes including I-93, Routes 62, 129 and 38 - 5 Amherst also puts Silver Lake nearby for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. It’s a location that offers the best of both worlds—neighborhood living with recreation and everyday conveniences close at hand.One family has filled this home with memories for decades—now it's ready for the next owner to make it theirs and begin creating memories of their own
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 1,872 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 20,037 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.
