Imagine living in a historic antique home, originally constructed in the mid-1700s, but with all of the modern amenities the most discerning buyer would appreciate. The Holt-Cogswell House combined centuries of history with luxurious finishes and updates - this is absolutely not your typical antique. Entertaining is easy on the main level, where your housewarming guests enjoy dinner in the formal dining room after lounging in the living or family room. The chef's kitchen features exquisite Carrerra marble countertops and SubZero and DCS appliances - not to mention the extra-large fireplace that acts as a centerpiece to the space, one of three in the home. Upstairs, your family will feel like they're in a quiet respite, with spa-like bathrooms and custom closet systems that were thoughtfully constructed in recent years. Lounge outside next to the heated gunite pool and waterfall as family and friends gather around the firepit or under the pergola on the deck for your first cookout - filtering in and out of the guest suite/family room that offers direct access to the basement?s full bathroom and kitchenette from the outdoors. Exercise or enjoy a pint by the pellet stove in the barn that was saved in the mid-2000s from the former Andover Home for Aged and moved to the property - serving as a welcome retreat overlooking the professionally landscaped grounds. The property is said to have been an Underground Railroad Station from the 1830's - 1860s during the Cogswell ownership. Since then, the home has been extensively renovated - including a new foundation, new roof, full exterior renovation, and more - causing it to be recognized twice lately for Preservation awards, first in 1999 and more recently in 2018.
