Room to spread out, space to adapt, and plenty of possibilities—this distinctive Barre Cape delivers all three. Set on a wooded 0.6-acre lot, the home offers approximately 2,386 square feet of finished living area across three levels, including 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated office, sunroom, and enclosed porch. The finished walkout lower level includes a separate ADU with its own full bath, creating valuable flexibility for guests, extended living, or a private retreat. Energy-conscious features include solar panels that have significantly reduced the seller’s monthly electric costs, insulated windows, and 200-amp service. A boiler installed in December 2022, town water, and a septic system approximately four years old add practical appeal. Behind the single garage door is an impressively oversized space ready for a workshop, equipment, hobbies, or serious storage. The paved driveway accommodates up to seven vehicles, while the expansive backyard offers abundant room for gardening, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment. The main home is vacant; the ADU is occupied. Please do not walk the property without prior authorization.

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 2,386 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 26,136 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.
