A Rare Offering in the Heart of Andover’s Historic Phillips Academy Neighborhood! Discover one of Andover’s most iconic antique Colonials—brimming with character, history, and untapped potential. Nestled on a picturesque lot bordering AVIS conservation land, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is a dream for antique lovers and visionary renovators alike. Original wide pine floors, period detailing, and classic colonial lines showcase the timeless charm of this special property. While the home is in need of renovation, it offers a rare opportunity to restore and personalize a piece of Andover’s architectural legacy. Outside, established perennial gardens frame the home with seasonal color, and a two-story barn provides additional space for garage parking, workshop, or storage. A truly special setting just moments from Phillips Academy, downtown Andover, and conservation trails—this is a home with a story to tell and a future to shape.
