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.
