Welcome to 1303 Calkins Road, a unique opportunity offering comfortable living with built-in income potential. This 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath raised ranch sits on almost an acre corner lot with excellent visibility on Route 20 and is zoned for highway business use. The open floor plan features a spacious kitchen with island, open to the large living room and dining space. The bright sunroom off the primary bedroom is perfect for a home office, sitting room, or hobby space. Enjoy a private backyard and one-car garage along with ample parking. The finished lower level (approx. 594 sq. ft.) is currently leased to a long-term business tenant generating $900 per month to help offset your mortgage. Looking ahead, the business space offers excellent potential for your own home-based business. While the home could benefit from cosmetic updates, the flexible layout, rental income, and future possibilities make this a truly rare opportunity.

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 1,848 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 39,204 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.
