Listing broker remarks

Set on over an acre in Andover, this 1956 ranch offers three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and approximately 1,269 square feet of single-level living. The home retains the character of its original design, with a defined kitchen and dining area separate from the spacious living room, creating distinct spaces for cooking, gathering, and relaxing. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, while the unfinished above-grade basement provides additional space, future potential, and value! The generous 1.03-acre lot offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, all within a location known for its access. Across the street from conservation land and walking trails. Minutes from downtown Andover, major highways, and the town’s schools, the property offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience, with easy access to I-93 and I-495. Whether you appreciate the personality of a classic mid-century ranch or envision future updates of your own, this is a wonderful opportunity to plant roots in Andover.— The Aland Realty Group LLC
