Listing broker remarks

Offered for the first time in over 75 years, this antique Colonial sits on a large, level lot and is ready for its next chapter. Sitting in Norwood's general residence zoning district, this property offers the opportunity to convert to a two-family by right with the ability to add an ADU. While the home requires updating, the possibilities are endless for renovation, redevelopment, or creating a multi-generational property. Builders, investors, and developers, don't miss this exceptional value! Inside you'll find soaring 10-foot ceilings, original woodwork, and a walk-up unfinished third-floor attic offering additional expansion potential. Outside, the large, level yard provides abundant outdoor space and parking. A detached two-car garage adds convenience and storage. Additional updates include a hot water tank (2023) and a roof approximately 5-7 years old. Ideally located just a short distance to Norwood Center and public transportation.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Westwood
