11 Black Horse Lane, Andover

Listing broker remarks

Every family has that one home everyone wants to come back to. This is that home. Set quietly at the end of a long, winding driveway, this extraordinary residence offers the feeling of a private estate while remaining just minutes from downtown Andover, major commuting routes, and some of the area's most sought-after schools. Surrounded by mature landscaping and thoughtfully designed inside and out, it is a home that welcomes every season, every celebration, and every generation. Rich custom millwork, soaring ceilings, handcrafted details, and walls of windows create spaces that are both grand and inviting. The spectacular great room, with its fireplace and access to the back yard, naturally becomes the heart of every gathering, while the richly appointed study feels more like a private tavern than a traditional office, a place to pour a drink, watch the game, or linger over conversation with friends. At the center of it all, the beautifully updated kitchen features Viking appliances, beverage refrigerators, and thoughtful enhancements that make it just as enjoyable for everyday meals as it is for hosting a holiday dinner. Just beyond, the year-round sunroom with radiant heated floors and a stunning front-to-back fireplace is a place you'll find yourself returning to morning, afternoon, and evening. Five spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bath, provide exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Outside, the lifestyle continues. The covered porch overlooking the backyard feels like the veranda of a classic New England retreat, where coffee lasts a little longer and summer evenings seem to never end. Beyond, the beautifully landscaped grounds surround a heated saltwater pool and spa with a cascading waterfall, a new stone fire pit, sweeping wisteria, a newly fenced pet area, and a charming pool house complete with a changing room, half bath, and outdoor shower. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, every space was designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Additional highlights include a three-car garage wired for a future EV charger, a dedicated home gym, an expansive unfinished lower level ready for your vision, a Generac whole-house generator, Reed's Ferry shed, new boiler, bluestone driveway, exterior painting, updated pool equipment, and numerous additional improvements that reflect years of thoughtful care and investment.— Leading Edge Real Estate
