Listing broker remarks

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Rare in-town Andover opportunity! Just 0.3 miles from downtown, 74 Chestnut Street is a classic 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Georgian Colonial Revival filled with timeless architectural details, natural light, well proportioned rooms and the craftsmanship that gives older homes their unmistakable charm. Professionally landscaped grounds and a stately wrought-iron fence create wonderful curb appeal. This home is comfortable and full of possibility. It is a rare opportunity to personalize at your own pace while preserving the character and architectural presence that make it so special. Original hardwood floors, mouldings, built-in dining room hutch and more. Leave the car at home in the garage and stroll to downtown Andover’s restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, parks, library, and commuter rail. Morning coffee, dinner in town, shopping, or catching the train to Boston, are all just minutes from your front door.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
