Why It’s Worth Seeing

What stands out to me about 23 Pleasant St is how much of the 1857 farmhouse is still here. The oldest part of the house keeps its hand-hewn beams, tin ceiling, wide-board floors and even the original soaking tub. The 2004 restoration replaced the electrical and plumbing and won an Andover Historic Preservation Award, and the owners have kept up with the big items since, including a new roof in 2025.

The rest of the house is set up for everyday life. The kitchen has a tiger maple island and opens to a bright family room under exposed beams, and both are wired for surround sound. Above the attached garage is a separate space that could work for guests, extended family or a home office.

Outside, there’s a wraparound porch, a big mahogany deck and just over an acre on a corner lot. The large red barn went up in 2023. It and the two other sheds stay with the house, along with an electric dog fence around the property.
