Privately set on 17 acres of land, this oversized Colonial offers an exceptional sense of seclusion, abundant living space and an outdoor setting designed for entertaining and relaxation.

Inside, the spacious kitchen offers an oversized island, windows overlooking the pool, gas fireplace, generous dining area and direct access to the backyard. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the kitchen and family room, which also features built-ins and a window seat with storage.

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 3,046 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 747,396 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.
