Welcome to 23 Pleasant Street, in Andover, Massachusetts. Otherwise known as The Boutwell House | Est. 1857. Some homes are defined by their finishes. Others are defined by their story. 23 Pleasant Street has both—but its story began in 1857. Known historically as the George & Fanny Boutwell House, this remarkable Andover farmhouse has stood for nearly 170 years, evolving for modern living while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make it impossible to replicate today. Step inside and the home's history reveals itself naturally. The original portion of the farmhouse remains remarkably intact, featuring all original hand-hewn beams, an original tin ceiling, original wide-maple and pine floors, high ceilings, French doors and an original soaking tub—authentic details that connect the home to its past rather than simply imitate it. An expansive custom chef's kitchen with a tiger maple island and sun-filled family room, both wired for surround sound, create inviting spaces for living and entertaining. Jack-and-Jill-style bedrooms add character, while a separate au pair or in-law space above the attached garage offers more flexibility for an extended family, guests or a private workspace. In 2004, the home underwent an extensive restoration and modernization, including all-new electrical and plumbing, earning an Andover Historic Preservation Award that May. Continued upkeep includes two boilers installed in 2013 and 2016, exterior painting in 2022, full laundry room reno in 2024, a new roof in 2025, fresh interior paint in 2026, 3 new bathroom vanities in 2026, and a new septic distribution box in 2026. The current owners have continued to uphold the integrity of this house with precision care throughout their ownership. Outside, the home's presence speaks for itself. A classic wraparound porch, expansive mahogany deck and established landscape create a quintessential New England farmhouse setting. The large red barn was added in 2023 and done by Horizon Structures. The 3 red barns/sheds are being left to the new owners along with an electric canine fence that surrounds the property. Set within Andover's desirable High Plain/Wood Hill area, 23 Pleasant offers something new construction simply cannot: documented history, authentic character, and a presence entirely its own. The Boutwell House has been part of Andover since 1857. The opportunity now is to become part of what comes next and add your family to the history of this remarkable property

Before it became a home, it was a grand barn with horse stables. Its original beams & stable structure remain today, grounding the spaces with character you simply cannot recreate. In the 1970s, the original owner, a contractor, transformed it into a home for his family with an open layout, vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows & skylights, long before those features were commonplace. At its heart is the original stone fireplace, a striking focal point in the living room, exposed on the other side to the family room, connecting both spaces while giving each a place to gather. The main residence offers three bedrooms & a full bath, with light pouring through skylights & tall windows. Look up at the beams & see its history. Look around & imagine the holidays, conversations & everyday family moments lovingly held here. The attached in-law apartment has its own vaulted ceiling, skylights, a generous bedroom, two full baths & a second kitchen. Extended family can stay close while enjoying their own space, cooking together or settling into separate routines. Thoughtful surprises include closets tucked into seemingly every nook, some so deep a child could imagine a secret tunnel. These details reflect the owner’s care for everyday life & add a sense of discovery. A custom sized garage, originally made for a Harley, offers another memorable detail for motorcycle enthusiasts. The private, expansive yard invites entire days outdoors. The thoughtfully placed in-ground pool makes summer an occasion, where family comes for a swim & stays into the evening. Across the yard, rich gardening soil, fruit bushes for berry picking & strong trees made for the kind of tire swing children remember long after they’ve grown create a place a child might call a secret garden. Nearby, the fire pit invites you to warm up & linger after a day in the pool. A circular driveway welcomes you home with plenty of parking for family & friends, while the location keeps commuting & everyday errands convenient. It’s easy to imagine a full house without anyone wondering where to park. Deeply loved through decades of summers, holidays & gatherings, this home’s barn history lives on in its beams, stable structure & stone fireplace. Its two living spaces & remarkable grounds have made room for generations of life. Now it’s time for someone new to make this one of a kind family compound their own. Don’t miss out!
