We have clients who have looked at property in the city or town where they live, but simply can't afford what is coming onto the market.

As a result, the town has been deemed noncompliant by the state and was sued last week by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alongside eight other municipalities. The grant was awarded in October 2024 through the Healey-Driscoll administration's Community One Stop for Growth program and administered by the Executive Office of Economic Development.

Along Eleanor Avenue in Bourne, a small, tight-knit neighborhood with deep roots is about to disappear. The state is taking 13 homes to make way for the new Sagamore Bridge and its network of access roads.

Originally known as the Charles Davis House, the colorful Newton Center home was constructed in the Second Empire style in 1860 by Davis, a well-to-do chemical manufacturer in Boston, according to historic documents.

About 20 years ago, an architect purchased the home and transformed it for himself into a six-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bathroom home that exudes vibrant color and historic features that effortlessly blend with modern amenities.
