About this home
Exceptional Colonial in desirable area of Methuen, set on over 2 private acres with approximately 4,537 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and two of the bedrooms are spacious primary suites. The main kitchen offers granite countertops, a center island, pantry, and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by a second full kitchen for added versatility and entertaining convenience. A private residential elevator provides easy access from the 3-car garage to both living levels. Enjoy a private heated in-ground saltwater pool and gazebo surrounded by peaceful wooded grounds. Additional features include natural gas, central air conditioning, central vacuum system, backup generator, and solar panels offering energy-efficiency benefits and potential savings. An exceptional property combining privacy, comfort, and extraordinary amenities.
The North End, located between the Merrimack River and the Lawrence line, is a residential and commuter-friendly Methuen neighborhood with river-edge scenery and a patchwork of wooded streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 113 corridor near the I-93 ramps, where auto shops, corner takeout counters, and small service storefronts set a practical, on-the-go tone. Housing leans toward mid-century capes and ranches mixed with newer subdivisions, with backyards that meet tree lines. River views and pocket green spaces shape a quieter rhythm away from the main road. Daily errands often orbit nearby plazas rather than a single main street.
