Within half a mile of Liberty St
Scored against every street in Braintree.
Condos vs single-family
Scores run 1–100; 50 is typical. Prices are placed among Braintree MLS PIN closed sales of the same year, so an older sale is judged against the prices of its own time. A past or asking price only: we don't estimate what any home is worth. Scores describe how the market behaves, not the home or its neighbors.
Zoning, taxes & the land
| Zoning | Residence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it. |
| In-law / accessory unit | A single-family home in a district that allows single-family homes by right. Under the 2025 state ADU law, one accessory dwelling up to 900 sq ft (or half the house, if smaller) is generally allowed here without a special permit. Site rules like setbacks and parking still apply. |
| Property tax, FY2025 | About $7,191 a year (assessed $720,500 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill. |
| Elevation | About 92 ft above sea level, higher than 35% of Braintree homes. |
| Nearest expressway | About 760 ft from Route 3. |
Zoning from MassGIS tax parcels; elevation from state LiDAR at the parcel's center point; distances are straight-line. Tax uses the town's residential rate for that fiscal year.
