About this home

Opportunity knocks for the smart buyer. The Board of Appeal has approved an extension of the zoning relief for this property through December 13, 2027. For a savvy buyer, that means more time to plan, price and line up financing. A grand 1880 former rectory in the historic Lawrence Avenue district of Grove Hall, Boston, with a 1920 addition and off-street parking. The building is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and has the kind of character that is hard to find in new construction. Picture a stately single-family home, or see the potential for so much more: multi-unit housing, shared or transitional housing, or another use for an investor, developer or organization looking to give a historic building a new purpose. The property is zoned for up to three families (3F-4000). Design review is reported complete, which gives a buyer a head start. The location is a plus. Franklin Park and the Franklin Park Zoo are nearby, along with many colleges and universities, including Roxbury Community College and Northeastern University, and the hospitals and schools of the Longwood Medical Area. Buyers with a business or other non-residential use in mind should confirm what is allowed with the City. Cash or hard-money buyers only; not FHA-eligible. Permit, environmental and approval documents are available to qualified buyers. Buyer to verify all zoning, permitted uses, approvals, transferability, lot size, square footage, distances and condition with the City and their own professionals. Appointment only, please do not visit the property without one.
