NEW PRICE, NEW OPPORTUNITY! Bring your vision to 39 Main Street, an authentic 1742 post-and-beam antique offering a unique opportunity for contractors, renovators, investors, or buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own style. With 2,606 sq ft of living space, 4 bedrooms, and a generous 20,909 sq ft lot, this property offers the space and character to make thoughtful improvements while preserving details that simply cannot be recreated today. Exposed hand-hewn beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, period fireplaces, and original architectural elements provide a strong foundation for a renovation that blends historic New England character with modern updates. The detached barn adds significant flexibility and makes this property especially appealing for a contractor, tradesperson, woodworker, car enthusiast, or anyone needing substantial workshop and storage space. It may also offer potential for an ADU, studio, home office, or other future use, subject to local approvals. The home offers an opportunity to update kitchens, baths, finishes, and systems over time while putting your own stamp on a property with history, space, and versatility. The large lot provides additional outdoor possibilities, while the farmer’s porch adds to the home’s classic character. Convenient to Saugus Center, shopping, restaurants, parks, major commuter routes, Boston, and the North Shore. For the buyer who can see beyond what is here today and recognize what this property could become, 39 Main Street offers a combination of character, usable space, and renovation potential that is increasingly difficult to find.

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 2,606 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 21,087 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.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
