About this home
Welcome to 12 Houston Avenue, a distinctive Central Methuen Colonial that has been lovingly maintained by only three owners since it was built. Offering approximately 2,145 square feet of living space, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a 2-car garage combines the character and craftsmanship of an older home with the exceptional care that comes from generations of prideful ownership. The handsome brick exterior provides timeless curb appeal, durability, and a character rarely found in today's homes. The property has a 12,681 sq ft lot of land with irrigation and is graced by a magnificent mature tree believed to be more than 300 years old—a remarkable living piece of history that adds an extraordinary sense of place. One can only imagine what this tree has witnessed over the centuries; perhaps Paul Revere himself could have passed beneath its branches. Inside, the home has been exceptionally well cared for over the past 60 years, reflecting the pride and stewardship of its longtime owners. Generous living spaces, classic architectural character, and a warm established feel make this a home with a story to tell—and an opportunity to become only its fourth owner. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, parks, public transportation, and major routes including I-93 and I-495, this property offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful residential setting with everyday conveniences close at hand. A special home, a remarkable tree, and a history of exceptional care—12 Houston Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Central Methuen's character and charm....
