Opportunity awaits this 4-bedroom, 1-bath home with a small side yard for its new owner. The first floor features a kitchen, living room, laundry room, and two bedrooms, along with a walk-up attic offering additional storage space. The second floor includes two more bedrooms and a bonus room, providing flexible living options. This property is ready for renovations, updates, and repairs and may not qualify for all types of financing. However, it offers outstanding value-add potential for investors, contractors, or owner-occupants looking to build equity. Off-street parking for two vehicles adds to the home's appeal. Ideally located in the heart of Athol, this home is just minutes from the YMCA, restaurants, shopping, and other local amenities.

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: 587 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,174 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 2,508 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.
