168 Main St, Quincy, MA, 02169
About This Home
Rare end-user or development opportunity on a huge bell-shaped lot in a desirable Quincy location. The property features a well-maintained ranch-style 3BR/1BA home with a walk-out, high-ceiling semi-finished basement not included in living area. Long-term tenants have maintained the home with care, offering flexibility for end-users to move in and update over time. A fully fenced yard and 3-car garage provide immediate utility, with strong expansion and future ADU potential. The wide, private rear portion of the lot allows for flexible site planning and separation between structures. City feedback suggests feasibility for a four to five unit project based on zoning and neighborhood precedent (buyer to verify). Positioned in a rapidly evolving Quincy corridor with strong development precedent including nearby 97 Sumner St. Future retail additions include planned Trader Joe’s (2027). Rare flexibility for multiple exit strategies. Sold AS IS.
