An opportunity to transform a substantial Colonial and create value in an established Dorchester location. Held by the same family for more than 50 years, the home has been lovingly maintained through the decades and is now ready for its next chapter. Offering more than 2,000 sq ft of living space, this property has the size and versatility to make a renovation worthwhile, whether the vision is an investment project or a home redesigned for today’s living. The existing footprint includes generously sized rooms, a fireplace, an all-season family room and a walk-up attic, providing plenty to work with when planning improvements. Outside, a corner lot, paved off-street parking, porch and fenced yard add valuable features that can be incorporated into the property's transformation. The location adds another layer of appeal, with public transportation, T access, parks and highway connections nearby. The home needs work, but that's where the opportunity lies—bring fresh ideas, modernize the interior and capitalize on the space, location and potential already here. For investors, contractors or buyers who recognize the value of a property they can improve and reposition, this Dorchester Colonial offers an exciting canvas for its next chapter.

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 2,042 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 2,581 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.
