About This Home
Welcome to 56 Central Street. Standing prominently in the heart of Andover on one of the Globe’s “Best Streets in Greater Boston,” the George Abbott House is a stunning RENOVATED 1796 Georgian-style estate on 2.32 private acres. In addition to the residence, this property features a restored circa1660 Granary, now a two-car garage, and a restored circa1850 Dutch barn. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, this gracious 5000+ sf home blends modern luxury with historic charm. Perfect for entertaining, the newly renovated and expanded chef’s kitchen, butler's pantry, bar, 3/4 bath, mudroom and patio (2023) integrate seamlessly with the original floor plan which was meticulously restored/updated in 2004 & 2017 to historic specifications. Period details include 8 fireplaces, soaring ceilings, Victorian millwork, wrap around screen/sun porch, original wide plank flooring, “Indian” shutters, and countless others. Minutes to Phillips Academy and downtown Andover.
