Flood zone & environment
- FEMA flood zone: X (minimal). Not in a mapped flood zone, so a lender won't require flood insurance.
- Mapped wetland about 422 ft away. Outside the 100-ft wetland buffer zone.
- Public sewer area. Inside the Braintree Water & Sewer service area, so no Title 5 septic inspection to sell.
Mapped at the parcel's center point from FEMA's flood maps, MassDEP, NHESP and MEMA (via MassGIS). Not a survey or a flood determination: confirm with FEMA's map service or a lender before you rely on it.
Zoning, taxes & the land
| Zoning | Residence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it. |
| Lot size | About 39,000 sq ft with roughly 140 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, FY2025 | About $7,752 a year (assessed $776,800 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill. |
| Elevation | About 151 ft above sea level, higher than 79% of Braintree homes. |
