Prime Andover Location! Walk to Phillips Academy, downtown Andover & the Doherty Middle School. Quiet & private street in a highly sought-after neighborhood of 30 charming single family homes on Karlton Circle & Forbes Lane combined. First time on the market, this home has been thoroughly enjoyed by the same family who custom built it 60 years ago. The pretty, large, flat yard, offers plenty of room to entertain, play, and garden. There is ample room to add a swimming pool and still enjoy plenty of open space. The nicely updated kitchen includes a granite island, stainless steel appliances, and cherry cabinetry at one end, with a dining and seating area with wood-burning fireplace and built in bookshelves at the other end. Huge adjacent living room with wood burning fireplace & formal dining room is a wonderful area to gather and entertain. There's a 1st floor designated home office with builtins & closet. On the second floor, there are 4 well-sized bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite full bath. This stately styled home offers abundant natural light and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The unfinished lower level has a working fireplace and is plumbed for a full bathroom. At about 1000 square feet, it awaits your creative ideas for a recreation room, exercise room, or craft/hobby room. Such a rare opportunity to combine best location, home, and yard! Priceless!
