Enjoy the perfect combination of country privacy and commuter convenience to I-93, Route 495, and Route 213. The bright, updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quality countertops, stylish fixtures, and stainless-steel appliances.

The West End, located between the Merrimack River and downtown Lawrence, is a residential and industrial Methuen neighborhood with mill-era streetscapes and river-adjacent views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near the I-495 ramps, where auto shops, small storefronts, and working warehouses set a brisk, utilitarian rhythm. Brick multifamily blocks and compact side streets mix with light-industrial buildings and rail-adjacent lots. Riverfront edges and nearby parks shape a walk-and-pause routine along the water. Local staples such as Heav’nly Donuts, The Loop Shopping Center, and Methuen Memorial Music Hall anchor everyday errands and community culture.
