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.
Codman Square–East Codman Hill, located between Dorchester Avenue and Blue Hill Avenue, is a residential and commercial Boston neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and a civic-minded main square. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Washington Street and Talbot Avenue junction, where storefronts, cafés, and community institutions keep the sidewalks active. Codman Square Health Center and the historic Strand Theatre serve as long-running local anchors. Blocks of wood-frame multifamilies mix with brick apartment buildings and small corner shops. Green pockets such as Harambee Park and nearby Franklin Park shape daily routines. Transit links via Ashmont Station and Fairmount Line stops connect the area to the rest of the city.

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, PLUS a basement offering additional potential. Perfect for a three-unit condo conversion, a three-family to hold as rentals, or a huge single family. Currently a legal single-family in Boston's 3F-6000 (Three-Family Residential) zoning subdistrict with no overlay districts. The lot is under the minimum lot size, so a three-family conversion would need a variance from the ZBA, 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 parking for 2 cars. The location is hard to beat: a quiet side street minutes to 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 buyers only.
The 3F Subdistricts are designed to preserve low-density three-family areas with a variety of housing types appropriate to the existing fabric, including one-, two-, and three-family dwellings, to preserve existing structures, to provide for new and infill construction appropriate to the existing fabric, and to allow minor changes to occur as of right. In the 3F Subdistricts, the maximum number of Dwelling Units allowed in a single Building shall be 3, and the maximum number of Town House Buildings or Row House Buildings attached in a row shall be 3.
