This custom Royal Barry Wills Associates home in North Andover is an elongated Cape with three distinct wings that's positioned for maximum exposure to the sun.
Designed in 1985 by Richard Wills, son of the late Melrose-born architect Royal Barry Wills, this hilltop home is in the tradition of the Wills' famous center-chimney Cape designs with custom millwork and quality materials that give it a timeless feel.
The main saltbox-like center of the house has a white-brick front and steep cedar roof. One clapboard side wing holds a master bedroom suite with loft studio above, while a bargeboard-sided family room wing, topped by an eight-foot cupola, has timber ceiling rafters taken from a 17th-century church. All the wings have custom-made black shutters.
The three-bedroom home, which has an updated cedar roof and three oversized brick wood-burning fireplaces, is on the market for $995,000.
The oak-floored central wing of the house has a two-story entry foyer, a formal living room with custom milled crown molding and paneled wainscoting, a brick fireplace and glass doors that open out to a rear granite patio.
An adjoining formal dining room leads into a recessed-lit kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and refinished white Corian counters. A butcher-block topped island has a new five-burner Gaggenau electric cooktop. There's a Sub-Zero refrigerator behind a cabinet, two new Gaggenau wall ovens and a black Fisher Paykel dishwasher. Off to one side is a sunny eat-in area with four curved bay windows and a brick fireplace.
A curving mahogany staircase from the foyer leads up to two carpeted bedrooms on the second floor with built-in bookcases and a quarry-tiled full bathroom with a white Corian-topped vanity.
The oak-floored master bedroom suite is on the first floor in a wing to the right of the foyer. It includes a bedroom with built-in bookshelves and window seat, two walk-in closets, a study area (currently an exercise room) and an en-suite bathroom with a glass-mosaic tile floor, a raised soaking tub and a green-marble lined walk-in shower.
A spiral staircase just off the suite leads up to a skylit loft area currently used as an artist studio.
The family-room wing — set perpendicular to the rest of the house — flows off the kitchen with a peaked chestnut timber ceiling culled from an old church, and the back wall has a cherry wood built-in with a brick fireplace. Three glass doors open into a three-season back sun porch overlooking a fenced-in yard with a heated in-ground pool.
Off the family room is a mud room and laundry area with a full washer/dryer, lots of closets and a half-bath. There's direct access here to an attached two-car garage.
Each of the house's wings has its own Hydro air heat-exchanger and central air-conditioning systems.
