This updated home offers a refreshed interior with improvements throughout. The kitchen has been upgraded, along with the full bathroom, and an interior wall was opened to create a more open and inviting layout. Beautiful new wood flooring runs throughout the main level, adding warmth and character to the home. New stairs provide convenient access to the basement, offering excellent potential for additional storage, a workshop, or future expansion. The basement is equipped with central HVAC vents for heating and air conditioning and may also be a potential candidate for an ADU, subject to local zoning, permitting, and approval requirements. Step outside to enjoy the spacious, fully fenced backyard, offering a private outdoor setting with plenty of room for play, pets, entertaining, and relaxing. Ideally located in Lancaster with convenient access to shopping, dining, major routes, and outdoor recreation. A great opportunity to make this well improved home your own!

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: 624 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,248 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 10,890 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.
