About this project

The property is currently under agreement and will be acquired from the Weston Affordable Housing Trust upon final permitting. This is a Chapter 40B/L.I.P.  project in which Habitat Greater Boston worked closely with a local architect to ensure the design complements the neighborhood and pays homage to the historic nature of the local architecture in Weston with colonial styles, gables, and front porches.

The site and landscape plans have been designed with input from a certified arborist to preserve as many healthy, existing trees as possible and also to provide a significant number of additional trees for replanting. These will help to replace any trees removed and provide visual screening from the street and the adjacent home.
