One look at this home and you will fall in love with the large front yard with mature trees, very well maintained home, wrap around porch with Trex decking, blue stone patio and two car detached garage, upgraded in 2024, as well as at least four parking spaces in the driveway. The modern kitchen was beautifully redone in 2018, as well as new windows in 2000, siding in 2020, and new roof in 2020. The large primary suite was added in 2001 with a cathedral ceiling and primary bath with separate tub and glass-enclosed shower, as well as a large closet and built in storage. The second bedroom and a smaller room, perfect for a nursery or home office, round out the second floor. This beautiful home is located near the center of Hamilton, a five minute walk to the train, shopping, restaurants, community pool, tennis courts, library, a fantastic park with play equipment for children, gazebo for summer concerts in the park, and a Community House with great programs for the town.

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: 700 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,400 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 12,806 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.
