At the end of a cul-de-sac in a tranquil Old Center neighborhood, this grand Colonial offers a rare chance to own a meticulously maintained home in a prime North Andover location. Positioned perfectly on an acre+ lot with large yard and mature trees, it boasts a private, serene ambiance. Indoors, a well-appointed kitchen flows into a gas fire-placed great room and attached sunroom, ideal for gatherings. Sliding doors from the kitchen to the deck, blend indoor-outdoor living. Host more formal occasions in the sizable dining room, relax by the fire in the additional living room, and enjoy a flexible work-from-home space. A rejuvenating en-suite primary bedroom awaits upstairs, alongside generously sized guest rooms. The finished walkout lower level expands the living space and seamlessly connects to the backyard patio. Conveniently located, 81 Hitching Post Road offers easy access to shopping, dining, recreational facilities, and a manageable commute to Boston and surrounding area.
