Rarely does a home carry both the weight of history and the comfort of modern living so gracefully. This wonderfully restored and renovated antique sits on the corner of one of Andover's finest neighborhoods, in the heart of the coveted Pike School and Phillips Academy area. Built in 1758 by Hezekiah Ballard and later transferred to Thomas Manning in 1771, the home remained in the Manning family for over two centuries, until 1999. It is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of Andover's most historically significant homes. Enjoy living in a home with true historic character and every modern convenience. The kitchen and all 5.5 baths have been thoughtfully and recently updated, along with every major system, electric and heating included, so timeless charm comes paired with modern-day reliability. The first floor offers a spacious country kitchen with gas fireplace, DR with hardwood floors, family room with a Colonial cooking fireplace and coffered ceiling, living room with Colonial cooking FP. and office with coffered ceiling. 5 Bedrooms & 5 baths on the 2nd floor. 2 BR's have wide pine floors.
