Zoning, taxes & the land

ZoningResidence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it.
In-law / accessory unitA single-family home in a district that allows single-family homes by right. Under the 2025 state ADU law, one accessory dwelling up to 900 sq ft (or half the house, if smaller) is generally allowed here without a special permit. Site rules like setbacks and parking still apply.
Lot sizeAbout 33,149 sq ft with roughly 142 ft of street frontage: more than twice Residence B's 15,000 sq ft and 50 ft minimums, so it may be large enough to divide. That takes a survey and the town's approval.
Property tax, FY2025About $20,817 a year (assessed $2,085,900 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill.
ElevationAbout 146 ft above sea level, higher than 76% of Braintree homes.
Nearest rail lineAbout 1,940 ft from the Red Line tracks.
