Welcome to 54 Richfield Street, a spacious 5-bedroom Colonial offering room to grow, flexible living space, and exciting possibilities for the next homeowner.With more than 2,300 square feet of living space, this home features generously sized rooms, original hardwood floors throughout much of the property, and the character of a classic New England home.The finished basement adds even more flexibility with two additional rooms that can be used in a variety of ways, including a home office, gym, playroom, hobby room, guest space, or additional storage. It’s a great extension of the home for buyers who need more room to live, work, entertain, or simply spread out.Owned by the same family for nearly 39 years, the home is ready for its next chapter. A newer roof, less than 10 years old, is another valuable improvement.The seller is also offering two sets of professionally prepared architectural construction plans, including as-built drawings, representing an investment of more than $8,000. One set explores a renovation and two-family configuration, while the second explores a two-family configuration with a basement ADU. The plans are being provided as an added resource for the next owner and offer an exciting opportunity to explore additional possibilities for the property in the future.Whether you’re looking for a spacious single-family home with room for everyone or a property that offers flexibility for what may come next, 54 Richfield Street offers a unique combination of space, character, and possibility in a convenient Dorchester location.

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: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,300 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 4,967 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.
