Property Description
A distinguished landmark home in one of Andover’s coveted Bancroft/Phillips Academy neighborhoods, this historic 14-room residence was once owned by the prominent Abbot family and offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Andover history. Rich in character and architectural beauty, the home features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, high ceilings, wide pine floors, and 9 fireplaces. Thoughtful additions in the 1940s and 1970s expanded the home for modern living with a spacious family room, kitchen, foyer and living room, while preserving the warmth and integrity of the original residence. Some recent updates include the kitchen, pantry/laundry and new flooring in foyer. A home gym in lower level, stunning bluestone patio overlooking a sweeping yard w/ perennials, stone wall, fire pit, koi pond and storage shed add to the appeal. Close to downtown Andover, Phillips Academy,Pike School, shops, restaurants, and commuter train this is an exceptional property with history and enduring presence.
