This resplendent Queen Anne Victorian has been restored to its former glory with original period details and new custom cabinetry and woodwork.
The six-bedroom house at 43 Abbot St. in Andover features beamed ceilings, restored pine floors, four wood-burning fireplaces, formal sitting and dining rooms and a kitchen redone in 2007 sympathetic to the period of the house. This 4,931-square-foot house with three levels of living space and a two-story 1993 addition with a garage and great room above is on the market for $1.2 million.
The 1890-built house has a gambrel-shaped roof with recently replaced yellow clapboard siding and a red asphalt shingle roof. There's a columned front porch faced with stone that leads into a grand entry foyer with restored pine floors, a wood beam ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. There's an original turning staircase to one side and a reception area with a period window treatment. At the far end of the foyer is an anteroom converted into a half bath with a Carrara marble vanity and large oval window.
To the left through pocket doors is a formal sitting room with 12-foot ceilings, restored pine floors, a built-in bookcase and a wood-burning fireplace with a wood mantel.
There's a door here to an adjacent formal dining room that can also be entered through a pocket door from the foyer. The dining room also has restored pine floors, a built-in (for china) and a wood-burning fireplace with a wood mantel.
There's a large kitchen redone in 2007 that has its original wood beams, wide pine floors and recessed lighting. There's a granite-topped knotty pine island, cherrywood cabinets and granite counters. Appliances are black and stainless steel including a just-added GE Monogram wall oven and a three-year-old dishwasher.
This room also has a large brick-walled wood fireplace with a wood-burning stove. On the other side of the kitchen is a breakfast nook with glass doors that lead out to a deck added in 1993. There's a large grass side yard with a garden area.
Off the kitchen is a half bath as well as a back stairway to the upstairs bedrooms.
Behind the kitchen is a family room with pine ceilings, walls and flooring and two walls of windows.
The adjacent 1993 addition has a mudroom with a rear foyer leading to an attached two-car garage and has stairs up to a great room with two skylights, currently used as an artist studio heated by electric baseboard.
The staircase at the front of the house leads up to a pine-floored gallery area and four bedrooms. The master suite has a bedroom with restored pine floors and a chandelier. There's an updated closet space with built-in storage, and an updated en-suite bathroom with cream and gray marble tiles, a beadboard cabinet, granite-topped vanity and walk-in shower.
The other three bedrooms, two good-sized and one smaller, have pine floors and lots of closet space. One bedroom has a fireplace, another a closet with a washer and dryer. There are two other full bathrooms on this floor redone in the late 1980s, one with a shower, another with a raised whirlpool tub in front of a stained-glass window.
There are two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the third floor, along with lots of storage in flanking eaves.
Half of the basement has wood floors and there are fieldstone walls that extend into a full bathroom with blue tile floors and a walk-in shower. There's a washer and dryer in a laundry area and a room used as a wine cellar. The home's steam boiler is here, with heat fed through original steam radiators in the original areas of the house. There is no central air conditioning.
