North Andover, MA —
My Home for over 25 Years

After living in North Andover for 25 years, I now have the pleasure to share some of my favorite and scenic places to enjoy in this fabulous family friendly town.
Enjoy a good workout at the many area gyms or hike up Weir Hill. After you can enjoy a stack of pancakes or lunch at Dominic’s, the best diner and also located at the local airport. Get my favorite fattoush salad! Each season brings something special at Smolack Farms. Apple picking, hayrides or cutting down a Christmas tree are seasonal favorites. Don’t forget to grab a famous homemade apple cider doughnut! There are a some places for dinner in North Andover as well. Charma Grill is one of the newest and if you have a great appetite you can feast all night on their delicious Brazilian barbeque or just enjoy a great cocktail with their awesome selection of appetizers.

Day and night events are always fun at the Stevens on Coolidge Place. It’s the perfect example of an early 20th century country-elegant estate. You can tour the hidden gem year-round. Stroll through the gardens in the summer to see some of the most vibrant plant specimens. While you’re there, you can cut yourself a beautiful bouquet to take home. The main house is filled with American and European decorative arts.

"You can tour the hidden gem year-round."

It’s wonderful to see all the families on the town common during activities. For example the sheep-shearing festival (so unique to the area) or the 4th of July celebration. In the summer, the children gather to watch the puppet shows and the bands play.

I love the family environment, the country setting and the close distance to the city and beaches that North Andover has to offer.
