Buyer financing fell through. Beautifully remodeled and expanded Cape in the desirable Mount Vernon neighborhood, just two blocks from the Andover line. Taken down to the studs and completely renovated, this home features a brand-new second floor completed in 2023. Thoughtful, high-quality upgrades include an open-concept first floor, hardwood flooring throughout, recessed and designer lighting, central air conditioning and heating, a tankless hot water system, and a newly paved driveway. The cook's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an exterior-vented exhaust hood, maple butcher block countertops, and beautifully crafted shaker-style cabinetry with a pantry cabinet and two under-counter Lazy Susans for exceptional storage. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets featuring built-in shelving. The primary suite includes a beautifully tiled en-suite bath. Additional knee-wall storage offers easy access to extra space with possible expansion in walk out basement.

ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,944 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 9,700 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
