3 Avalon Court, Methuen MA

The Story

A 1998 colonial held at the end of the drive

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in West Methuen, 3 Avalon Court sits on 3.55 wooded acres behind a long circular driveway, vinyl fencing, and a stream on the lot. About 3,930 square feet of living area, four bedrooms, two full baths and a half, new hardwoods throughout, and a finished lower level that already has a kitchenette.

A sun-filled foyer with a sweeping staircase opens to cherry cabinets, granite, and a slider to the 34-foot deck. The great room rises into a cathedral ceiling with a wet bar and gas fireplace. Solar panels, a generator switch, central vac, and MASS Save upgrades are in place. At the back of the lot, a 16-by-26 outbuilding with 8-to-9-foot ceilings. The listing names it as real potential to become Methuen's newest ADU. It is not an ADU today. Buyer to verify permitting.
