Stately Victorian in the heart of West Roxbury. From the moment you set eyes on this freshly painted, turn-of-the-century home, you will appreciate its truly special character. A welcoming covered front porch leads you into a classic entry vestibule, where exceptional historic detail immerses you. The main level features beautifully maintained hardwood floors, gorgeous original wood doors and moldings, and a grand staircase. The spacious layout flows seamlessly from the double parlor (formal living and sitting rooms) into an ample dining room, leading to a modern kitchen complete with a stand-alone island and breakfast bar. A convenient three-quarter bath sits near the rear exit, which opens to a pavered parking pad and back deck featuring a relaxing hot tub. Upstairs, the second floor offers three bedrooms—including a generous primary bedroom, and a full bath. The open plan third floor provides a flexible space perfect for a fourth bedroom or home office. Full-sized laundry is in the large dry basement.

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).

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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
