Rarely available 3.25-acre property on Newton's South Side offers an exceptional development opportunity in an estate property area. The site is located on picturesque Dudley Road, surrounded by mature trees and expensive homes. There is currently a 4,200sf antique barn on the property that was converted to a residence 50 years ago. This residence has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 2-car garage. The owners have secured an engineering opinion confirming the potential for a three-lot, as-of-right subdivision, by creating a cul-de-sac off Dudley Rd. The creation of the cul-de-sac would require the removal or relocation of the existing barn. Each lot holds the potential for a 8,000+ SF house. Whether you envision restoring and modernizing the existing home, creating a new private estate, or pursuing a subdivision for multiple grand residences, the possibilities here are significant. Buyer to perform due diligence prior to submitting an offer.

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 4,200 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 141,707 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.
