About this home
ATTENTION BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS & INVESTORS!! 34 Rosedale St is the project you've been waiting for in Dorchester. This Colonial offers approximately 3,500 sqft across three levels (in addition to a basement) in a three-family zoning subdistrict. Perfect for a three-unit condo conversion, a three-family to hold as rentals, or a huge, updated single family. Zoned 3F-6000 (Three-Family Residential) with no overlay districts. **A three-family conversion would need ZBA relief for lot size, and the precedent is right across the street: 31 Rosedale St, a smaller house on a smaller lot, was approved by the ZBA for three units and is under renovation now.** Paved driveway provides off-street parkingc. The location is hard to beat: a quiet side street minutes to public transportation including Talbot Ave station on the Fairmount commuter rail line and Shawmut station on the Red Line. Being sold AS-IS and in need of a full, gut renovation. **WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR FHA, VA or CONVENTIONAL FINANCING.** Cash and rehab-loan buyers only.
