Detached single-family with its own fenced yard in Eagle Hill. Five bedrooms, two full baths, twelve rooms, 1,890 square feet across three finished floors on a 2,500 square foot lot. The first floor opens to a living room, a separate dining room, full bathroom, and a kitchen with exposed brick, tile floor and stainless appliances. Three bedrooms, an office and a full bath on the second floor, two more bedrooms and two additional rooms on the third. Hardwood on the main floor, varying types on the second and third. The basement runs the full footprint of the house — concrete floor, full walk-out, interior and exterior access. Because the house is detached, all four elevations are workable. South-facing, fenced on every side, with a yard that is unusually generous for this part of East Boston. Gas forced hot water heat, gas hot water, city water and city sewer — no oil tank. Partial renovation is underway and unfinished. Rooms sit at different stages: some painted and floored, one bath framed and boarded for tile, stair treads stripped, portions of the third floor down to subfloor, exterior due for paint and maintenance. Roof at the end of its life. The price reflects the remaining work. The structure, the footprint, and the floor plan are all here — and those can't be built. A block off Meridian Street: Central Square shops and restaurants, the Blue Line into downtown, Piers Park and the East Boston Greenway, Logan minutes away. Sold as-is; seller will make no repairs.

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 1,890 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 2,500 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.
