Set on a beautiful one-acre lot, this distinctive mid-century ranch offers a refreshing alternative to the typical cookie-cutter layout. The heart of the home is a spacious living area centered around a brick fireplace, creating a natural gathering place and giving the floor plan a warmth and character that immediately stands out. Hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, while the updated eat-in kitchen features granite countertops and new flooring. Three comfortable bedrooms are joined by a separate bonus room with a closet, ideal as a dedicated home office, den, guest room or flexible fourth sleeping space. The home's low-profile lines, broad footprint and easy one-level layout capture the simplicity and functionality that make mid-century ranches so appealing. An oversized attached garage provides room for a vehicle, workshop or hobbies, while the full basement offers abundant storage and additional potential. Outside, the expansive backyard delivers an impressive amount of privacy and open space. Conveniently located just minutes from Route 93, downtown Andover, shopping, dining and schools, this is a home with personality, flexibility and room to make it your own.
