Year built: 1906
This 1906 colonial-style home was a Phillips Academy dorm in the 1960s and housing for Andover’s A Better Chance scholarship program in the 1970s before it became home to a retired art teacher. A few years ago, Jim Buhrer, owner of Refined Renovations, persuaded the former teacher to sell him the property even though it wasn’t on the market. The Buhrers hired architect Rob Bramhall, and Jim served as general contractor. Fifteen months later, the home was ready for the Buhrers to move in.
