Andover estate a spacious escape
Being in the prediction business is tough these days, but we do know that summer will come, that kids will want to run and play outside, and that an enclave outside the city might just be the place to do that.
Available for a little while — the residence is now exclusively available to rent — or to make your forever home, the property at 3 Regency Ridge in Andover is an oasis. The lavish estate has everything a family could want contained within its sprawling, private 1.22acre lot. And while it’s far enough away to be a true getaway, it’s also just a 30minute drive from downtown Boston. Best of both worlds? Definitely.
A whopping 19,311 square feet, eight bedrooms, and 10 bathrooms means you won’t run out of space and the home’s countless amenities will keep the family — and anyone else you’d like to have over — well entertained.
Custom-built in 2010 on a high, quiet outpost, the home welcomes you via a paved brick driveway, an opulent entryway, and dramatic double staircases that draw the eye upward to the extra-tall foyer, light flooding in from huge windows that line the home’s front facade. An eat-in kitchen with an oversized center island is large enough to host a neighborhood’s worth of guests. Warm wood cabinetry and a cheerful, sunny dining area make it inviting for a weekday breakfast, too.
As you might expect from a residence of this scale, the bedrooms are generous, some enjoying a fireplace, a balcony, or in the case of the master bedroom, both, plus a palatial master bathroom.
The “extras” are where 3 Regency Ridge shines. Where some homes might enjoy a pool, or fantastic outdoor space, the residence has both (the pool is heated and indoors), plus an indoor basketball court, home gym, game room, and bona fide home theater with plush stadium seating.
The residence is available exclusively to rent for $29,500 per month and on the market for $5.5 million through Antonio Khoury and Brett DeRocker of DeRocker & Khoury, 781385-1695.
