FANTASTIC LOCATION on this executive level ranch home in one of Athol's most desirable neighborhoods! Three bedrooms and two bathrooms all on one level make this a great retirement property. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout the L shaped dining and living rooms and down the hallway and into each of the bedrooms. The oversized living room is very bright from the wall of sliders that open onto a balcony styled deck that offers elevated views. A working fireplace and elaborate mantle are made more dramatic by the vaulted ceilings. There are several built-in AC units throughout the house and in each of the bedrooms. An oversized two car garage also has workshop possibilities and the enormous heated basement (with a cedar closet) is ready for any expansion needs. Outside there is a large side yard that is very level, a custom built circular stone terrace sitting area with mature shade trees and plantings throughout the property.

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: 770 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,540 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 26,003 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.
