Two parcels, held under a single ownership, face each other across Delmont Street.
On the Oak Street corner, 0.263 acres carrying an existing ±5,618 SF structure. Directly opposite, 0.677 acres of open, paved land with its own curb cut, reaching through to Dexter Street. Together they total 0.94 acres with frontage on three public ways — Oak, Delmont, and Dexter.
Both parcels carry existing curb cuts and utility service at the street. They are offered together, under one signature.
Conversations with the City of Methuen have been started.
Preliminary feedback indicated that a residential program in the range of four to six attached units, together with three to four single-family homes, represents the most likely approvable density.
That is guidance, not permission. A buyer will run their own process, engage their own consultants, and reach their own conclusions. But there is a meaningful difference between a site where the question has never been asked and a site where it has.
The feedback described above is preliminary and non-binding. It does not constitute an approval, an agreement, a permit, or any commitment of any kind by the City of Methuen. No zoning relief has been granted. No representation is made as to approvability, density, or program.
The site sits in Methuen's RD district — Single Residence D. Single-family detached is the permitted use.
Attached dwellings are not currently permitted in RD — not by right, and not by special permit. Any attached component of a program here requires zoning relief that has not been sought or granted.
We say this first rather than last because a buyer will find it in the first hour of diligence, and because it is precisely the risk the terms below are designed to share.
Flexible permitting timeline.
A buyer can take control of the site and pursue approvals without closing on an outcome that has not happened yet. That single provision changes who can transact here — from a cash land buyer waiting out a market, to a builder who can put shovels in the ground.
Additional structure is available to qualified buyers. All terms are subject to negotiation and are not offered on any stated basis.
Route 213 and I-93 are two minutes out. The Loop retail corridor sits three minutes north. Methuen's residential fabric is established on every side of the parcels.
Utility service at the street, existing curb cuts on both parcels, and frontage on three public ways — the conditions that make infill pencil, and the reason land inside them so rarely trades.
For decades the building on the corner was the Sahara Club, a restaurant and gathering room that gave this intersection its name in the neighborhood. It is winding down, and the site is offered for its next use rather than its last one.
