*** Update 6.1.2026***

After much consideration, we have decide to move on from this project and have re-located to a different section of Quincy. While we love Pelican road, the surrounding neighbors and everything it offered to us over the 10 years we were there, we moved towards a different style house which better suited our family needs in many ways. 

61 Pelican Road is now for sale. If you are interested in purchasing this property, send your contact info to: 61pelican@gmail.com and we will be in touch. 

Current State of the House:

Garage Project:  Completed

House Project:

• House is sided

• Front & Back Decks are completed

• Most rough plumbing has been completed in house (added a possible 3rd floor bathroom as well)

• Interior is all down to studs.

I am Joseph  and I live at 61 Pelican Road behind you with my wife, Kate, and our 4 kids ranging from 4 to 10 years old. We are planning to do an addition to our house and garage to accommodate our family. When I moved into the house in 2015, we had 1 child…and now we have 4 kids and not enough bedrooms or places to store all the stuff the kids come with!

We are very active in the community with multiple organizations and hope to be able to get this project moving so we can continue to be centered here in Quincy for the long haul.

We are applying for a building permit for both the house addition and a renovation of our current 2 car garage and I wanted to stop by your house to give you a heads up as we start the permitting process.

For the house, we intend to make it a full 2nd floor and add a pitched roof 3rd floor to increase our total bedrooms from 3 (currently) to 5 with an additional bathroom. We are also looking to add a mudroom on the first floor back entrance to give us more storage space for jackets and other items.

For the garage, we intend to replace the currently broken and leaking roof and raise it up a few feet to accommodate more dry storage. We are also looking to add a covered porch on the side in our current underutilized paved area.

I have included a copy of our plans (house and garage) and some renderings we made which should show what we intend to do.  We do not think this project is out of the ordinary and will help spruce up the property.  We are using a contractor who has experience in this type of renovation and has done this numerous times in our Adams Shore neighborhood.
