Rarely available 3.25-acre property on Newton's South Side offers an exceptional development opportunity in an estate property area. The site is located on picturesque Dudley Road, surrounded by mature trees and expensive homes. There is currently a 4,200sf antique barn on the property that was converted to a residence 50 years ago. This residence has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 2-car garage. The owners have secured an engineering opinion confirming the potential for a three-lot, as-of-right subdivision, by creating a cul-de-sac off Dudley Rd. The creation of the cul-de-sac would require the removal or relocation of the existing barn. Each lot holds the potential for a 8,000+ SF house. Whether you envision restoring and modernizing the existing home, creating a new private estate, or pursuing a subdivision for multiple grand residences, the possibilities here are significant. Buyer to perform due diligence prior to submitting an offer.
