About This Property

RETURNING TO THE MARKET WITH A SUBTANTIAL PRICE REDUCTION - An important piece of the history of the town of Andover, this entire house and grounds underwent a massive renovation and restoration during the period 2004 – 2018. Using architects, contractors and structural engineers expert in historic renovation, this project was undertaken by only the fourth family ever to own the property. The objective of the restoration was to maintain and enhance the historical integrity of the structures while seamlessly integrating the latest in modern conveniences and technology. In addition to the highest quality and detail of the renovation, the property has an in-town location, an unusually large 2.3 acre land parcel, unique detailing and high ceilings, and a charming and graceful interior. The house has 5 BR's and 4.5 BA, 8 fireplaces, a restored carriage house with radiant heating, a 32' high Dutch barn and a restored 1660 Granary barn used as a 2 – car garage.
