Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 494 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 988 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 16,553 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.
