We’re shifting into soup mode, which means taking a (short) break from swooning over seaside Cape Cod properties to fully fawn over the north shore during foliage season. In Andover, we’ve set our sights on 10 Cullen Circle, a sprawling single-family on a quiet cul-de-sac.

As you enter the five-bedroom, 5.5-bath home, you are greeted by a three-story foyer that sets the tone for the grand scale throughout the house. A beautifully appointed office features rich cherry woodwork, creating a warm and inviting space for work or study. The living room exudes sophistication, with custom coffered wood ceilings and an ornate gas fireplace that anchors the space.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting high-end appliances, including a professional-grade stove and ample counter space, ideal for hosting with the most. Whether dining indoors in the formal dining room or stepping outside to enjoy the patio by the waterfall, you will find endless ways to entertain.

The primary bedroom suite offers a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, private balcony, and a spa-like bathroom with radiant heat and a mini-fridge. An icy beverage after a shower? Genius. Three additional bedrooms feature either ensuite or shared bathrooms, while the top floor provides a versatile space perfect for recreation or fitness.

Set on a generous lot, the backyard is an oasis for outdoor enthusiasts, with ample space for running around or, you know, not. Families will also appreciate the proximity to Andover’s highly rated public schools. The home is conveniently located near charming downtown Andover, with its quaint shops, dining, and easy access to commuter routes.

On the market for $1,995,000, the sale of the property is represented by Madelyn Mitton with Coldwell Banker, 978-886-0348.
