Welcome to your serene wooded home in Andover! This charming colonial offers a spacious layout, perennial gardens, and fruit trees on 5.98 acres. Step inside through the screened farmers porch, the perfect spot to relax on summer nights, into the entryway with wide pine floors that flow into the dining room. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, nestled between an oversized mudroom, and a spacious living room with cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling brick open-hearth fireplace as the room's centerpiece. A 1/2 bath with laundry rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, a full bathroom is nestled between two bedrooms. The third bedroom, a spacious primary suite, includes an ensuite with an oversized jetted tub and a standing shower - your private retreat to unwind. The full basement adds versatility to the home, with another wood stove and ample space for utilities and storage. There's also an additional outdoor wood furnace and a whole home reverse osmosis water filtration system. This property offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, on the same street as Veterans Memorial Ski Area and just up the road from Franklin's newly revitalized downtown. Embrace the outdoors with miles of trails directly accessible from your backyard as well as a quick drive to the Rail Trail, Highland Lake, and New England's 1st whitewater park!
