The existing two-story wood-frame building was constructed in 1903. Planning documents state it could be demolished or relocated similar to 807 Franklin Street and 600 1st Street. The property sold in July of 2020 for $800,000. Construction is expected to cost at least $3 million based on a previously filed similarly-sized proposal for 3414 Andover Street by Kotas Pantaleoni Architects.

I wish the existing house could have been saved and moved but I know that is expensive. Perhaps this project will inspire the sad 1 story medical office next door on the corner to become something else as well.
i think i saw that the previous owner tried to give the house away but couldn’t.
