Home of the Week: This 1966 deck house in Sudbury for $1.15m is a nature oasis
This four-bedroom home is a perfect example of why pre-fab deck houses were popular in leafy suburbs. Driveways are utilitarian constructs. But sometimes they serve a greater purpose, like the gravel version that winds, tree-shrouded, to this deck house sitting in a verdant clearing — a hardscaped source of serenity.

Wu admin. wants to ease some fees, affordable housing rules
The Wu administration on Monday proposed easing some of its affordable housing fees and requirements for developers, whether they're building large-scale commercial projects or condominiums. The big picture: The proposed zoning changes aim to shrink cost burdens that have deterred developers from building in Boston, but stop short of granting the sector's demands of lowering its affordable housing requirements altogether. How it works: Boston requires developers building multifamily housing with seven units or more to set aside 17% of units for affordable housing. Those who opt out have to pay into the state's affordable housing fund, called the Inclusionary Development Fund (IDF), as do the developers behind large-scale commercial projects like labs. Residential developers could also build affordable housing off-site, but those must be within a half-mile radius of the original project. Driving the news: Housing officials proposed amending the zoning code to spread out the IDF payments across seven installments instead of two, reversing a 2022 city zoning change. The city also proposed lowering buyout fees for condo projects, from covering 75% of the difference between market-rate and affordable unit prices to 50% of the difference. The plan would also nix the half-mile radius for off-site affordable housing and
