Listing broker remarks

Commanding in scale yet beautifully composed, this exceptional 9,280-square-foot residence is set within one of Andover’s most prestigious neighborhoods near Phillips Academy. A gracious two-story foyer introduces interiors distinguished by dramatic millwork, generous proportions and abundant natural light. The inviting family room centers on a fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, while the gourmet kitchen is a cook’s and entertainer’s dream with two islands, top-tier appliances and a spacious dining area. A butler’s pantry connects to the generously sized dining room, and a richly appointed home office features handsome custom cabinetry. Privately positioned in its own wing, the first-floor primary suite is a true retreat with soaring ceilings, Palladian windows, a dramatic fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-like bath. Upstairs are four beautifully proportioned ensuite bedrooms. The expansive walkout lower level, with unusually high ceilings, offers an extraordinary collection of amenities, including family and game rooms, home gym, an entertaining area, golf simulator, movie theater and full bath. With 14 rooms, five bedrooms and six-and-one-half baths, this is a home of remarkable presence, comfort and distinction in an exceptional Phillips Academy-area setting.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
