A Cape with good bones, ready for your vision. Tucked across from McEvoy Park on a quiet, level three-quarter-acre lot, this Cape gives an investor or hands-on buyer exactly what they're looking for: solid structure, honest wear, and real upside. The home has never been "flipped" before - original hardwood runs through nearly every room, the chair rail and wainscoting hint at the character worth preserving, and the layout (two bedrooms up, one down, a full bath, and a kitchen that opens to a rear deck) is a clean, sensible footprint to build a renovation plan around rather than fight against. The value-add is obvious at a glance: a kitchen and bath that are functional but are due for a full modernization, a basement with exterior bulkhead access that's begging to be finished into additional living space, and cosmetic surfaces throughout - paint, fixtures, flooring refinishing - that will transform the home's feel without touching the bones. Add central air, update to make it yours, and this could be a completely different property. The lot itself does a lot of the work for you: level, gently wooded at the edges, with mature shade trees and room to expand the deck or add a patio. Being directly across from a neighborhood park is the kind of amenity that's impossible to manufacture and reads well to future buyers. Location adds to the case - easy reach of Routes 495 and 93 puts commuters within range of the Merrimack Valley job corridor and southern New Hampshire, while North Andover's town center, schools, and Lake Cochichewick are all a short drive away. For a buyer willing to put in the work, this is a property where sweat equity has a clear path to real return.
