61 Wayland Street

This is a large, renovated Colonial with substantial flexibility for extended household needs, work-from-home use, or possible income-oriented use. The completed ADU and multiple living areas add versatility, but buyers should verify permitting, rental legality, and short-term rental rules before underwriting income potential. The renovation claims, outdoor spaces, and chef’s kitchen are strong lifestyle positives if confirmed in person. Key diligence should focus on the age of the underlying structure, parking details, and data inconsistencies in the listing.

PROS
- Extensive renovation and expansion with over 4,600 SF of living space.
- Flexible layout with 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, second-floor living area, and completed ADU.
- Updated chef’s kitchen with oversized island, custom cabinetry, professional appliances, and designer finishes.
- Multiple outdoor areas, including a two-story deck, patio, porch, balcony, fenced yard, and storage shed.
- Quiet neighborhood setting with classic Colonial details, millwork, grand staircase, and fireplace.

CONS
- No garage spaces are listed, and parking is marked null despite the description referencing a paved driveway; confirm actual parking capacity.
- Built in 1920, so buyers should inspect major systems, structure, insulation, and renovation quality carefully.
- ADU and potential rental/Airbnb use should be verified for permits, zoning compliance, and local restrictions.
- Lot data appears inconsistent: “lot_size_acres” is listed as 4205.0 while “lot_size” is also 4205.0, which likely needs clarification.
- Large home with multiple decks/outdoor features may carry higher
