About this home
*** 2 HOMES ON 1 LOT!!!**** An absolute rare gem in West Methuen! This exceptional property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true family compound featuring two completely detached single-family homes on a massive, gorgeously fenced lot complete with a sparkling inground pool. Perfect for those seeking unmatched flexibility beyond a traditional in-law setup, the main home is a stunning 1,700 sq ft Colonial that underwent an extensive studs-out renovation in 2021. Inside, you will find rich hardwood floors throughout, elegant granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, modern mini-split heating and cooling, and all-new windows installed in 2022. Just steps away, the sprawling 1,542 sq ft rear Ranch boasts its own hardwood floors, efficient FHA by gas heating, and a massive new deck perfect for quiet mornings or lively weekend BBQs. Prime location just minutes from rt 93, prime shopping, fine dining, and the Marsh Grammar School, this is your chance to have it all.
