Ideal for contractors, investors, or buyers seeking a substantial value-add project, this property offers a rare combination of prime location, land, and expansion potential. Set on an oversized wooded acre abutting the 126-acre Wildlands Trust Brockton Audubon Preserve, the site provides direct access to miles of established trails, mature landscaping, stonewalls, and a yard filled with wildlife. The circular drive and 2.5-car detached garage with overhead storage add functional appeal for equipment,tools, or project staging. Interior features include an oversized family room, two oversized bedrooms, and a first-floor bedroom with notable expansion possibilities. A newly renovated bathroom and a second recently updated bath offer a head start, while key system updates—boiler and oil tank replaced three years ago and a 2009 roof—provide important baseline improvements. Will need windows, modern kitchen, some exterior paint and an updated and refreshed interior. A standout feature is the three-season porch with a masonry fireplace overlooking the wooded lot, offering a unique architectural element to incorporate into a renovation plan. The property’s layout may offer possible ADU potential (either detached or attached), creating an opportunity for future flexibility or income-producing use. Located in Brockton’s desirable West Side near the Easton town line, the property provides commuter convenience with nearby highway access. This is a compelling project for those looking to build equity, create a custom design, or capitalize on a high-demand location with conservation land at the doorstep. Open House September 14-15-16 from 4-6 september 17 and 18 from 1 to 2. Any and all offers due Sept 21 by noon.
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 1,958 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 45,416 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.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
