A tale of two beautiful homes - 1273 Franklin Highway in picturesque Andover, NH, features a spacious colonial and a contemporary apartment, perfectly situated together on 12.3 acres of a lush terraced hillside and its very own one-acre pond. The main home is laid out in a traditional colonial style, with a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, hardwood floors, and roomy bedrooms (4 officially). The Brazilian hardwood deck adjacent to the kitchen, which overlooks the pond, is the perfect spot for grilling, and a wood-style gas stove in the living room adds a cozy ambiance. The addition, completed in 2013, includes a 2-bay garage and a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, built with a high regard for quality and customization. Your guests will enjoy hardwood flooring throughout, a custom kitchen with hardwood cabinetry and granite countertops, private laundry, a standby generator, and a cathedral ceiling with soaring windows and a radiant-heated floor. The finished basement includes a massive great room, workshop, ample storage, and a utility room for the whole-house pellet boiler and an on-demand Rinnai. A 3K KW solar array was installed in 2015, and the paved driveway has been well maintained. The barn is well-suited for toys, tools, or animals. In fact, this property, with its long yard and trails, would be great for equestrians or livestock. Don't miss this exceptional property, priced below its appraised value. Showings start immediately, and there is an open house Saturday, May 30th, from 10:00 - 12:00.
