A wonderful opportunity to put down roots in a desirable Braintree neighborhood at an approachable price point. Loved by the same family for decades, this charming bungalow is ready for its next chapter and offers exciting potential to renovate, personalize, and build equity over time. Set on a generous lot on a quiet dead-end street, the home offers approximately 1,944 sq. ft. of living space across three levels, 2 full and 1 half baths, off-street parking, and a full basement with interior and exterior access. The sizable lot and flexible layout may also offer potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to buyer due diligence and local requirements. The location is hard to beat—within walking distance to the Red Line, convenient to major highways, and just south of Boston. With great curb appeal, plenty of space, and so many possibilities, this is a special opportunity to create a home that works for you now and for years to come. Sold as-is. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding room count, square footage, ADU feasibility, and future use.

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 1,944 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 5,001 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.
