Built in 1894, this elegant Georgian Revival mansion was once "The Forbes Home". For history buffs, the story of this stunning property is attached in MLS. This is not a "cookie cutter" 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit, but is instead ...Sun drenched, open concept with nearly 9’ ceilings, beautifully crafted with architectural detail throughout, fireplaces in living room and primary bedroom, galley kitchen with granite, and a porch for those hot summer nights. A circular large bay window with built in seat grace the living room and views to the outside. The mantle over the living room fireplace is inscribed in Latin with "At the hearth a warm heart". The primary bedroom is en suite and as it was the original library, the mantle there is inscribed in Latin with "There is nothing better than friends and books". In-unit laundry, storage, assigned parking in a residential setting close to bus, train & route 93. A short distance to Phillips Academy and Andover Town Center, must be seen!
