81 Central St, Andover, MA 01810
What's special
Tucked close to the heart of town and Phillips Academy, this stunning antique Gothic Revival home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Two bedroom suites—with an option to convert the office/studio to a third bedroom—including 2½ baths offer comfortable, move-in-ready living. The updated cook’s kitchen and pantry, upscale renovated bathroom, newer furnace and roof bring today’s convenience and best quality to a home full of period charm. Shiplap paneling and custom woodwork throughout add the kind of character new construction simply cannot replicate. Outside, a gorgeous, professionally landscaped lot provides a private, picturesque backdrop for outdoor living and entertaining, offering a peaceful retreat just steps from everything downtown Andover has to offer. The back covered porch is a great place for al fresco dining or relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning. Commuters will love the unbeatable convenience of being within close proximity to the Andover commuter rail station, with direct service into Boston, making this an ideal home base for anyone splitting time between in-town charm and a city commute. For buyers looking to grow into the space, there's excellent potential to add a third bedroom, making this a smart choice for a variety of lifestyles, whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or simply looking to plant roots in one of Andover's most sought-after neighborhoods. With its unbeatable in-town location, proximity to shops, restaurants, and the train, and a rare blend of historic character and modern livability, this is a genuine opportunity to own a piece of local history.
